development.</p> <p>SIGHT is a member of <a style="background-color: #ffffff;" href="https://www.ieee.org/about/humanitarian-tech.html">IEEE Humanitarian Technologies</a> (HT), a consortium of programs and initiatives鈥攕upported by a global network of volunteers and technical professionals鈥攚orking together to apply technology to solve the world’s most pressing problems.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The SIGHT Committee, managed by the IEEE Humanitarian Technologies Board (HTB), is</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> offering funding to established and active Groups to

HTB generally cannot transfer funds to a Society Chapter or Student Branch. IEEE financial requirements for funding disbursements will apply. Please see IEEE FOM 2.E -IEEE Unit Reporting (Including, but not limited to, Societies, Technical Councils, Geographic Units, and Conferences).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All proposed SIGHT Group Activities must take place locally (within 100km of the SIGHT Group鈥檚 base).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A brief report with an accounting of expenses must be submitted within 30 days of the activity鈥檚 completion.</span></p> <h4><b>How to Apply</b></h4> <p>All applications must be submitted through the <a href="https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=ieeecorporate">Online Funding Opportunities Portal</a>.
