GRANT PROPOSAL PROTOCOL The Association of Zoo Veterinary Technicians (AZVT) will consider grant applications from active or associate members. Consideration will go towards zoo, veterinary, or conservation projects that need support other than what the member's zoo or employer will provide. Grant monies will be awarded to approved projects in amounts up to $5000.00, depending on project requirements, number of approved projects within a fiscal year, and available AZVT funds. Allotted payment in the form of reimbursement will be awarded directly to the selected AZVT member. Written applications and abstracts should be submitted to the Grant Committee. Each year, the deadline for application submission will be the 15th of March. Proposals should be in a concise written format. Applicants should supply project title, goal and a description of expected methods, a list of known expenses and/or equipment needs, project participants, and date of expected completion. If the project is a continuing one, the applicant should state the time of their involvement with the project. The grant proposal should have the written approval of the project’s principle investigator. Currently, there is no limit to the number of times a member can apply for a grant. Grant applications should be limited though to one per year from each member. Within two years (with updates to the committee every 6 months) of the project approval and issuance of grant monies, AZVT will require a presentation from the recipient describing the project and if/how the grant benefited the out-come. If the recipient does not present the required information, or does not provide AZVT with an acceptable date to delay a report, AZVT can require repayment of the grant monies.
