RTRN Small Grants Program Questions for the Steering Committee • What structural or operational changes, if any, should be considered for the RTRN Small Grants Program? • Should in-kind matching, including matching funds, be required as part of the RTRN Small Grants Program application to show institutional commitment? • What would be the value added of the RTRN Small Grants Program to already existing Pilot Project Programs at the RCMI grantee institutions? • Should the availability of travel funds through the RTRN Research Enhancement Award be continued?
