BAMFORD-LAHEY CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN GRANT FUNDING POLICY


The Bamford-Lahey Children's Foundation has established a new policy regarding funding of its research and development grants.  Until recently,  each grant was evaluated on its own merit and decisions were made without regard to other applications.  Because of an increase in applications and limited finances, this policy will change to a competitive review. This new policy applies to all grant applications under review and all future applications.  Deadline for consideration for funding in 2005 is October 15, 2004; we expect to make announcement of results in February 2005.  The number of projects funded will depend on the quality of the applications and the financial resources of the Foundation; it is possible that none of the applications will be funded or that more than one will be funded.  See our website for other procedures  http://www.bamford-lahey.org/guidelines.html.  As usual, applications are only on an invited bases following evaluation of an initial letter-of-inquiry.  

The Foundation is particularly interested in funding research that will help establish the efficacy and effectiveness of language intervention practices with children as noted under Objectives on our website.  We encourage letters-of-inquiry regarding such studies but will consider any inquiries related to our objectives.
