Grants

Should the proposal be written for an expert in the field or for a layman audience?

Because the Society engages experts in many fields to review proposals, each of which is usually read by three people, you should write as if you are speaking to someone familiar with the language and other conventions of your field.

What should I do if I have money left over?

Should I send all of the receipts with the financial report?

If I have applied and not been funded, may I reapply the next year?
