About the Funding Program. As you are aware the VAS has a program of Grants and Awards for both junior and senior scientists. The program also encourages graduate students, Research Associates, and post-doctoral fellows to apply for these grants. Please read carefully the RFP and follow the instructions as clearly outlined. The funds are limited and the academy is looking to fund as many quality proposals as possible. Therefore, it is important to adhere to the dollar amount stated in the RFP. |
