Elected board members and CLA officers are precluded from applying to CLA monetary awards, including this CLA Research Award. CLA members in volunteer positions, committee members, etc. are welcome to apply. Successful applicants may reapply every three years. Priority is given to individuals who have not previously won this financial award or the Bonnie Campbell Hill financial award within the past five years.

All applications are blind-reviewed by children’s literature scholars who serve on either the Endowment Fund Committee or the Children’s Literature Assembly Board. Other children’s literature scholars might also be invited to review applications.  Each application will be blind-reviewed by three scholars.
