Winnipeg IESNA Award

Application Guidelines

All applicants must have prior approval of their application by a faculty member (teacher) who will monitor the project. The proposal should provide a concise statement of the project proposed, followed by a description of the project stating the objective(s) of the project, the exact methods of implementation, the timetable for the project, information on any other sources of project funding, and the specifics of the end product. The Section will accept applications for student projects at any time.
The project must have the required space and equipment allocated by the participating Department or unit.

If a project involves the use of humans, then the appropriate ethics review must take place. Students in post-secondary institutions with an ethical review process must complete this process. If the student's institution does not have an ethical review process, then the project must be submitted to the IESNA Grants and Awards Committee which will arrange for such a review. In the case of animal research, protocols derived from the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) must be adhered to.

Upon completion of the project, a written report must be submitted.
If possible, a brief presentation of the project will be given at one of the monthly meetings of the Winnipeg Section of the IESNA.
In any given year, the Awards Subcommittee of the Winnipeg Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) may decide that all, some, all or none of the proposals will be funded. Already completed projects will not be funded.

Note: although the Winnipeg IESNA will consider and comment on preliminary suggestions from students, the submitted application must be for a project (a) that has been approved by a teacher/advisor, and (b) is ready to be implemented.

The Section will accept applications for student projects at any time.
