Review/Approval/Denial Procedures: A Sub-Committee of the IMATA Research & Conservation Committee participates in a two-tier review of all received IMATA Research Grant Applications.
Funding will be denied if applications are not complete, of significant merit, do not support IMATA's mission, or if the Principle Investigator(s) fail to agree to IMATA’s Terms of Acceptance, provide Statement(s) of Organizational Support, or copies of required IACUC approval or permits (if applicable). The Sub-Committee will present award recommendations to the IMATA Board of Directors for consideration.
The IMATA Board of Directors will vote to determine if, and how much, funding will be awarded to the recommended Grant Applications. Funding award amounts may be reduced from the requested amount in order to accommodate other awards or if the IMATA Board determines that dispersal of these funds interfere with IMATA’s fiscal solvency.
Principle Investigator(s) will be notified of the Board’s funding decision after the annual board meeting. (Occurs just prior to the annual conference.) Award funds will be made available as quickly as possible.
