SIPS has made a limited number of funds available for student and postdoc travel support. This fund supports defraying student and postdoc travel costs to the SIPS Annual Meeting. You should apply only if you do not have access to other travel support (e.g., from your home institution, your lab, or another grant). Awards will be made based on a lottery to applicants who meet the qualifications:
1. You are a student or postdoc member of SIPS (i.e., you have not yet achieved a "career" level position such as faculty or administrator)
2. You confirm that you do not have other support to attend the SIPS meeting (besides personal resources)
Names will be selected until funds are depleted. Although SIPS provides funding for a small number of awards, the amount of awards varies on an annual basis (dependent on donor support to this fund). SIPS commits to award ten students/postdocs $400 each (total fund = $4000, about 15% of our conference budget), but we will make more awards as donor support allows.
If you are not yet a member of SIPS, you can join here:
improvingpsych.org/join Student/postdoc membership is just $40/year.
To apply, please complete the form below by February 28, 2018. Awards will be announced by mid-March, 2018. You will be asked to accept or decline your award within a short time period, so that we can reallocate funds if you are unable to attend.
