It will not be submitted for Category 1 activity, and may not be used in a Category 2 application SIG administrative/project funding​ $10,000 total available; $500-$1,000 per grant Managed by SIG Subcommittee within Membership Committee​ $20,000 total available; $250-$2,500 per grant Managed by SIG Research Subcommittee within Research, Quality and Outcomes (RQO) Committee When possible, research grant funds should be issued directly to an institution because they are subject to different rules.

Isssues arise when funds over $600 are written out to an individual, as that becomes taable income that would need to be claimed. For project funding, NSGC should pay vendor's invoices directly when possible, or volunteers should submit an expense reimbursement form and receipts directly to the SIG staff liaison, who will process this reimbursement.
