ICDD > GRANT IN AID
One of the ICDD's main objectives is to expand the range of reference
materials by archiving or producing X-ray diffraction patterns. To further
this effort, the ICDD supports a well-developed program of grants to researchers
around the world to provide high-quality data and refined search techniques.
Each year the ICDD extends financial support to qualified investigators, in
the form of grants-in-aid awarded on a competing proposal basis, for the preparation
of reference X-ray powder diffraction data.
The duration of a Grant-in-Aid is 12 months with two cycles
per year. Cycle I begins 1 April and Cycle II begins 1 October.
Benefits offered to grantees are:
- Financial support to aid current research
- Publication of pattern(s), if accepted by the Editorial
Department, in the Powder Diffraction File
- Receive calibration standards
- Purchase certain products at reduced prices
- Web-based access to the list of compounds in the ICDD
master database—includes published patterns as well
as patterns still in the editorial process
- First-time grantees receive a complimentary one-year
subscription to Powder Diffraction
