Evaluation of Applications: Applications are reviewed by the SAGES Foundation's Grant Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. Analysis of applications includes a determination of whether a request meets the basic funding criteria of the SAGES Foundation, including consistency with its programmatic goals, objectives, and priorities; clearly articulated pathways to achieving results; and the potential for measurable impact. A request for additional information may be required after application submission. Please note that due to the volume of applications, the SAGES Foundation is unable to fund all requests submitted for consideration.
