The Law Foundation of British Columbia has established a $100,000 Legal Research Fund to support legal research projects that “advance the knowledge of law, social policy, and the administration of justice.”
The Foundation is seeking Letters of Intent for proposals for one-time projects, with the maximum available for each project being $20,000. Visit the Foundations website to find more details about the fund, such as who can apply, what makes a proposal eligible, and the application process.
The Law Foundation is a non-profit foundation created to receive and distribute funds in five areas:
• legal education
• legal research
• legal aid
• law reform
• law libraries
And while the Foundation recognizes these objectives are legal in nature, the income is to be allocated to programs that will benefit the general public of British Columbia.
The grants for 2011 will be adjudicated by the Fellowships & Research Committee of the Foundation in November. This year’s deadline for applications is September 30, 2010.
