The Foundation does not limit the number of grant proposals which may come from an institution. It would depend upon the institution. Typically, this is signed by an organization's executive director or a university's department head or by someone in the dean's or president's office. Please be aware that some institutions may have requirements that you will need to follow. We do suggest, however, that you do not choose someone as your Endorser who would benefit from the grant funding as this could be viewed as a conflict of interest.
Most researchers do an exhaustive literature search when researching a particular area of study.
We are interested in a textual summary which describes research that has already taken place, the most recent advances made in your area of study, and how your proposed work will contribute. Please provide a listing of any of the literature that you cite in your summary. Yes, providing you are NOT a faculty member of an institution where you receive a salary, or if your salary is already provided for in any other way. As our funds are limited, they are designed to provide funding where no other funds are currently available. Funds can not be used for overhead costs of institutions or ongoing institutional programs.
