The Research Grant Program Competition awards one grant to support research broadly related to education for library and information science. The Research Grant Award cannot be used to support a doctoral dissertation. At least one applicant in a group submitting a proposal must be a personal member of ALISE as of the deadline date. The proposals will be judged on the appropriateness of the proposed project to issues in library and information science education in its broadest context; significance of the problem; design of the study; the investigator's qualifications: how likely they are to be successful, based on previous work and/or possession of the requisite skills; the appropriateness of the schedule and the likelihood that the work will be accomplished on time; and the completeness of the application. Please visit the award's website for more information.
