• Grant recipients may reapply for renewed support every two years thereafter.
• Each grant recipient organization is required to sign a Schwartz Center membership agreement, Schwartz Rounds addendum, and MSF amendment prior to membership. The membership start date is upon fully executed membership agreement and addendum.

Grant Renewals

• Grant recipients are eligible to apply for renewal following the initial 3-year grant cycle and every two years thereafter.
• Grant renewals are not guaranteed and are conditional on meeting renewal criteria at the end of each grant cycle.
