The Visual Resources Association (VRA) is pleased to invite applications for the 2024-2025 VRA Professional Development Grant. Applications are accepted January 18 – March 1, 2024.
The VRA Professional Development Grant awards up to $1,000 to support professional development in the field of visual resources and cultural heritage information management. The grant can be used to participate in a professional development opportunity of the grantee's choosing (e.g., a conference, symposium, or workshop), or to enroll in relevant research activities (e.g., hands-on field work or a site visit for scholarly purposes). Priority will be given to applications that
-
enable a leadership role at an event, including, but not limited to, giving a paper, teaching a workshop, or chairing a committee;
-
support research that shows promise to lead to publication and contributes to the visual resources and cultural heritage information management community; and
-
provide evidence that receiving the grant will benefit the applicant as well as an institution, community, or region.
A complete description of the Professional Development Grant and application instructions are available at https://www.vraweb.org/professional-development-grant.
