All applicants must be current members of the Children’s Literature Assembly (CLA). 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 members 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.

Reviewers will receive guidelines and conduct approximately 5 reviews during the month of July. If you are willing to serve in this important role, please send an email indicating your interest along with a current CV to the committee chair, April Bedford.
