The University Department of Rural Health is offering four Rural Health conference funding grants in 2009 (two in the first round and two in the second round). The grant will cover conference registration, travel and accommodation up to $1,500 per award. These grants are additional to the allowance for students during their candidatures.
These grants are designed to allow research-active students to attend a national/international conference in 2009 to enhance their research progress. In awarding these grants, preference will be given to students who have been accepted for a full paper presentation (poster presentation excluded), in particular if the paper is peer-reviewed.
To be eligible for these conference funding grants, the applicant must be a research student currently enrolled with the University Department of Rural Health. If you receive funding in the first round, you will not be eligible to apply in the second round. The date of the conference must be within six months of the application closing date.
Awardees must conduct a conference report/reflection seminar at the Graduate Research Workshop series and complete relevant forms for Publication Entry System at UTAS.
Closing dates for applying for the conference funding grants are: 30 March 2009 (for the first round) and 19 October 2009 (for the second round).
First round applications close 5pm Monday 30 March 2009.
