Visual Media Offers Production Grant

INDIANAPOLIS - The Office of Visual Media invites faculty and staff to make proposals for a special project production grant. All departments on campus are eligible to apply for the grant. The production grant can be utilized by IU faculty and staff to prepare a media element that would meet departmental, student or patient education needs.

The special production grant is worth 50 percent of the cost of the project (up to a maximum award of $7500). The winner will chose the media elements they would like to utilize including graphic design, photography, print, video production or multimedia (web, CD-ROM).

A committee will review the grant applications and one winner will be selected for the winter award. The grant applications are due Monday, February 21, and the winner will be announced on Monday, March 14.

To apply for the Office of Visual Media Production Grant, interested parties should submit a letter of no more than three pages. It should include target audience, objectives and if a video, please note the desired length. If a Web or CD-ROM project, the level of interactivity desired should also be included.
