Grants for Educational and Research Institutions

• SPIE Grants are available to educational and
  research institutions. Suggested uses of SPIE
  grant awards include promotion of collaboration
  between SPIE student chapters and leveraging of
  offsite scientific facilities sending students
  to SPIE-sponsored events developing new courses
  efforts at general public education (e.g. public
  workshops) books and library subscriptions and
  on occasion, purchase of supplemental teaching
  tools or equipment. Grants are not meant to
  support research. Maximum grant amount 5,000.

• SPIE has expanded the Visiting Lecturer Program
  that provides up to 800US in travel funding to
  bring a distinguished lecturer to speak to your
  chapter.  The new program (finally!) provides a
  directory of lecturers who have agreed to travel
  for chapter lectures, and it is easy to request a
  lecturer.

  nVLP_Overview
• This chapter benefit can be used once per
  calendar year.  There is still time to arrange a
  lecturer for 2005!

42

• My records indicate that your chapter has
  received 700 in activity grant funding for
  2005.  We budget this money for you, and
  encourage you to use it for the benefit of your
  chapter members and your community. As you know,
  activity grant funding levels are based on the
  number of members in your chapter, so I encourage
  you to do some recruiting and keep your chapter
  in good standing (10 members).  Our records
  indicate that you currently have 16 active
  member(s) in your chapter.
