Faxed applications will not be accepted.

The SRS Research Grant program was not developed to support research for independent manufacturers, industry development or personal business financial gain. SRS will be sensitive to this issue and avoid funding these projects.
If grant is awarded, you must submit your findings as an abstract to the SRS Annual Meeting, with no guarantee of acceptance, before submitting to any other meeting.
SRS must be cited as the source of funding in any publication, presentation or in any publicity resulting from the award or its results.
