Applications are temporarily closed
We are currently revising the Small Grant guidelines, and during this period we will not be accepting applications. The application form will be made available again once the guidelines have been revised. As soon as applications are reopened, anticipated for late October, we will notify members under Admin Announcements in AMICAL Connect. Applications for micro-grants may still be submitted during this period by requesting the form from contact@amicalnet.org.
AMICAL’s Small Grants program is funded through the consortium’s 2015-2018 grant from the Mellon Foundation, “Promoting AMICAL Library Leadership, Faculty Collaboration and Digital Initiatives to Strengthen Liberal Arts Abroad.”
The Small Grants program aims to fund initiatives in the following areas:
- Professional development related to AMICAL’s mission, but with special emphasis on leadership in the areas of libraries and educational technology.
- Emerging technologies and practice: innovations in library services, digital pedagogy, etc.
- Digital initiatives: digital scholarship projects, digital collection building, etc.
Small Grants can support initiatives of individual AMICAL colleagues, of a single institution, or of a small number of member institutions in partnership. Larger initiatives, for example workshops open to colleagues from all AMICAL institutions, should be proposed to the Coordinating Committee as an AMICAL-sponsored event or project, not through the Small Grants program. Small Grants cannot be used to support participation in the AMICAL Conference or other AMICAL-sponsored events, which have their own procedures for requesting support.
