  • 1.  Deadline extended to 1/18/23 - IRRT Mission Enhancement Grant

    Posted Jan 10, 2023 03:40 PM
    The International Relations Round Table (IRRT) announces the call for proposals for its Mission Enhancement Grant. In 2016, IRRT members and supporters established the IRRT Endowment. Interest from the Endowment will be used to fund member-initiated proposals for international projects that contribute to ALA's role in international librarianship.

    Goals for the funding are to provide support for international projects or partnerships; promote a global dialogue about librarianship; increase visibility of international opportunities for U.S. and international librarians, and encourage international collaboration in librarianship.

    Examples of proposals that could be considered for funding include, but are not limited to:
    • Support for travel that is necessary to advance an international project
    • Funds to support collaborative sister library projects
    • Funds to support the development and distribution of training or publicity materials in support of an international project
    The maximum grant amount per proposal will be $1,000.

    Proposal process:
    Please visit the IRRT Mission Enhancement Grant website to learn more about the criteria and proposal process, and to download the proposal form.

    Deadline extended to Wednesday, January 18,  2023
