ISD Student Member or Regular Members at post-doctoral positions are eligible to apply. The applicant's advisor/instructor must also be a current ISD member.
Students and post-docs that are presenting either a poster, flash talk, or short talk at the designated sponsored conference are eligible to apply for travel funding.
Conditions of Travel Award
Travel awards are typically up to $1,000 USD. Travel funds are used to help offset costs of travel and/or registration fees. Considerations may be made for applicants who are travelling from locations that may require additional funds.
Only one ISD Travel Award per lab will be given in any 12-month period.
ISD Travel Awardees are required to provide proof of attendance from the conference organizer.
Travel funds are administered to the recipient following the close of the conference.
Within 30 days after the conference or event, the travel awardee shall provide the final abstract of presentation to ISD for posting on the ISD website.
ISD Travel Awardees presenting their research are encouraged to display the ISD logo on their presentation slides, posters, and other presentations to acknowledge the travel fund support of ISD and to enhance the visibility of ISD. As appropriate, ISD support may be acknowledged in publications.
