Use of Grants. The Foundation shall issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for each planned grant cycle. Each RFP shall solicit proposals for projects that target a specific theme that addresses an area of need. The IEEE Foundation/Life Members Grants Committee shall identify and recommend the theme to the Foundation Board for approval. The number and duration of the projects funded during each grant cycle shall be limited to ensure the projects achieve the desired broad impact and intellectual merit. Grants shall only be awarded to innovative projects described in grant applications that address the theme topic and are recommended by the IEEE Foundation/Life Members Grants Committee and approved by either the Foundation Board or IEEE Life Members Committee. Unsolicited proposals unrelated to the RFP’s theme will not be accepted or funded. Foundation Board shall approve grants awarded from the IEEE Foundation Fund. The IEEE Life Members Committee shall approve grants awarded from the IEEE Life Members Fund.
