Teaching Development Grants

Teaching Development Grants are intended to provide networking opportunities, promote awareness of SPSSI, and increase SPSSI membership through support of educational events and teaching activities. Up to $2,500 USD is awarded to two applicants each year based on actual expenses. Funds may be used to publicize events, pay speakers' honoraria, reimburse speakers' travel expenses, print collateral materials, or other expenses related to specific projects. Applicants are required to demonstrate how SPSSI will be featured at the event and how the event will attract and recruit new SPSSI members. Payment is matched against receipts submitted to SPSSI after the event has been held. Within 30 days after completion, a brief report outlining the activities and outcomes achieved must be submitted to SPSSI. Particularly successful or innovative events may receive coverage in the SPSSI newsletter or on the SPSSI website.
