Closure of the Foundation
|
|
Announcement of closure:
It is with regret that we, the board of trustees of the ECLAM/ESLAV Foundation, have to inform you that we will be winding up the Foundation and terminating its activities.
The current economic climate no longer allows us to continue operating in the hope that this situation will change and that we will again be able to open for grant requests.
Since its inception in 2003, the Foundation has collected and distributed EUR 342 000 with a total of 5% going in administration. We received 65 grant applications and supported 15 projects. At last review a total of 16 scientific articles had been accepted, 10 posters presented, 4 presentations given and one thesis had been supported by the foundation.
We have as of today, a balance that unless used in accordance with the aims of the Foundation, will slowly be eroded by running costs - website, company fees and accounting.
For this reason we have decided to wind down the Foundation and have offered our remaining funds to the ACLAM Foundation to be used on a project from Europe. We approached the ACLAM Foundation because they have the entire infrastructure needed to ensure a fair and correct distribution. They also have a fully functioning grants committee that will review applications in accordance with our common objectives. Information will be given via the website, as well as via the ECLAM and ESLAV websites
The Foundation will be collaborating with the ACLAM Foundation (American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine) in transferring remaining funds for disbursement by ACLAM in support projects that originate in Europe
Interested persons should contact ECLAM, ESLAV or ACLAM for information
