The CRS Operating Grant is the principal means by which The CRS supports research activities by independent scientists or small groups of investigators. Operating grants are usually awarded for a period of two years for a maximum amount of $60,000 per year. This amount was fixed by the scientific committee in order to fund the greatest possible number of applications. Researchers submitting an application for less that $60,000 and who qualify for funding will receive their grant for the amount requested. The CRS accepts renewal requests for this program.
