Grants Committee
Purpose
The Grants Committee is responsible for facilitating opportunities and successes for SRI In-Training and/or Early Career members to receive grant funding. This committee also oversees SRI’s existing grant programs and is responsible for reviewing and scoring the grant applications (and recruit additional reviewers when larger applicant pools are outside of the committee’s reasonable workload). The committee does an annual review of the grants, defining goals, eligibility and review process before opening up applications.
