Formal requirements for applications of project support

Types of expenses for which coverage may be applied
Only necessary expenditures expected to fall due within a period of 12 months from the start of the project may be covered. For a project that has received a first year grant, a renewed application may be submitted for a second year grant at the earliest 12 months after a received grant. Information must be given if the applicant is applying simultaneously for support of the project from other foundations or institutions.
In order to be able to support as many as possible of the many qualified applications, the Board has decided that, as a rule, no single project shall receive more than NOK 150,000,- (equals about USD 25,000,- as of Jan. 2007). If the total expenses for one project should exceed that amount, the board will also include in its consideration other possible sources of financial support. Expenses for equipment and secretarial services will not be covered by the Foundation to the extent that such resources are believed to be available from the institution where the applicant is planning to carry out the project.
It should be evident from the application form whether the applicant has previously received support from the Laerdal Foundation for Acute Medicine for another project. In such cases, the Board will attach importance to the reporting by the applicant on that previous occasion.

Reporting
Recipients of grants from the Foundation are required to submit a brief written report to the Board about the progress, findings, total expenditure and specific use of the grant from the Foundation within a year after receipt of the grant, and also always in connection with an application for renewed support.
