Dear Colleagues:
I am writing to you at this time to make sure that you are aware of the
availability of a fabulous funding source for research in our field. If
you are not aware of the International Foundation for Music Research, I
hope that you will visit their web site (http://www.music-research.org/)
and consider submitting a proposal. IFMR will fund research for periods of
one, two, or three years in amounts ranging from $20,000 to $100,000. The
organization was a sponsor for the 8th International Conference on Music
Perception & Cognition, hosted here at Northwestern University at the
beginning of August. As conference organizer for ICMPC8, I can tell you
that their generous support was a crucial component in the success of the
conference.
For your convenience, I have attached a copy of the Request for Proposals
document. If you have any general questions about IFMR or more specific
questions about the proposal process, you can contact an IFMR
representative at: IFMR@music-research.org.
Best wishes,
Scott Lipscomb, ICMPC8 Conference Organizer
Associate Professor, Music Education & Music Technology
