The duration of the projects funded by the Region 3 Projects Committee is generally on the order of weeks to months.

• A one-day event would not normally be approved for funding since a single day is not normally enough time for people to really engage with each other.
• An ongoing program would not normally be funded through this committee since this source is not meant to provide funds for activities that should have their own line item in an annual budget. It is certainly possible, however, that a project initially funded through this committee could have enough success that it could then seek ongoing funding through other IEEE and external sources.
