2024 Bar Success Research Grant Program - LOI Form Preview

The LOI form is designed to elicit brief information about your research project and your proposal to the Bar Success Research Grant Program. You may find the character limits restrictive. These limits may require you to make strategic decisions about what information to include and what to exclude. The information provided should focus on elements of the project for which grant funds are being sought, though contextual information should be provided to the extent necessary and possible

All fields on the LOI form require a response. Given the competitive nature of the process, not every LOI applicant will be invited to submit a full grant proposal. If you have questions about this grant application process, please direct them to Grants@accesslex.org with the phrase, “Question – LOI,” in the subject line.

To ensure that you receive emails sent from Foundant, our grant interface program, please add Administrator@grantinterface.com to your email safe senders list, address book or contacts. Please note, all questions should be directed to Grants@accesslex.org.

To the extent applicants include non-Helix programs and materials as part of research design, applicants are advised to (1) utilize comparable Helix offerings – which will be provided on an in-kind (non-cash) basis, or (2) seek alternate funding for research components requiring use of non-Helix programs or materials.
• More information about Helix is available here: https://www.helixbarreview.org/. Please direct any specific questions regarding this to Grants@accesslex.org.
