We are happy to open the call for proposals for the Fall 2023 Prenatal SIG Grant Award (PSGA). The purpose of this award is to provide limited funds to smaller projects that focus on the provision and study of prenatal genetic services. These awards may be granted to Prenatal SIG members and student members of NSGC. The amount and number of awards will vary from year to year, depending on the SIG budget. This Spring we can happily offer up to $800 depending on the number of proposals that are awarded funds.
Proposals may be submitted from today’s date until Friday, November 3, 2023, 11:59 p.m., EST. The PSGA will notify all applicants of the status of their proposal by November 17, 2023. The awardee(s) must accept the award in writing via email within 4 business days of notification. A check will be issued to either an individual or institution and additional information regarding tax implications will be provided at the time of acceptance.
Please submit the google form (https://forms.gle/aeeWdnwoUeCBvm1k8) and email a de-identified proposal to prenatlsig@gmail.com. The title of your attached proposal should match the title of the project submitted on the Google Form so your applications can be matched after a decision has been made. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me (information provided below). The PSGA committee members are looking forward to serving the Prenatal SIG membership and funding projects to help further the field of genetic counseling!
Thank you,
