Each applicant must have a membership or pay for each application - there is no institutional membership available (i.e. a PI can't have a grad student or post-doc us his/her membership).

Looks like the membership is a cheaper option generally than paying the $100 per application fee.

Is an institutional membership sufficient for multiple applications or does the individual PI have to become a member?

We obtained department approval to cover the cost of membership for our upcoming application.

Effective with the winter 2012 deadlines, each applicant is required to either be an American Heart Association Professional Member or to pay $100 per application submission. I would like to know how institutions are handling this requirement?  Is the department responsible for the cost of this membership/application fee or is the applicant?
