LYRASIS Catalyst Fund Applications Now Open
Jenn Bielewski
We are thrilled to announce that the 2021 LYRASIS Catalyst Fund application cycle is now open and we are accepting proposals and ideas through February 19. The Catalyst Fund is an award program to test and try new ideas and innovative projects submitted by LYRASIS members. 2021 applications will be reviewed by librarians, archivists, and museum professionals during March and April with recipients announced in June 2021. Only LYRASIS Members may apply for the Catalyst Fund. Not a member? Ask us how to join today.
Thematic
Track for Consideration
This
year, in addition to our general call for proposals, the Catalyst Fund is
piloting a new thematic track and welcoming applications focused specifically
in Open Source Software (OSS). The OSS track will look for projects to help the
advancement, evolution, expansion, and/or application of OSS to provide
innovation solutions for the LYRASIS community.
Please
note:
Not all applications need to address this theme, but funds have been reserved
specifically for those that do. Click to
view the criteria used by the Leaders Circle for consideration and selection of
projects to fund.
Wish to know more? Review a recording of Catalyst Fund: The Application Process & Overview Webinar. The program managers,
Our hosts, Leigh Grinstead and Sandy Nyberg, are also available in case you have any additional questions or concerns.
Thank you,
