Grants and Travel Funds
SPR Research Fellowship Training Award
Due September 1, 2009, for funding to begin October 24, 2009
The Committee to Promote Student Interests and the Education and Training Committee are pleased to announce that SPR will again provide up to three Research Fellowship Training Awards. The award will allow students, postdocs, or faculty to obtain mentorship/training in psychophysiological assessment/analysis with experts in the field, which they could not get at their home institution. This could involve travel to a remote site or travel expenses for a remote mentor to visit the applicant's lab, as well as the purchase of some necessary equipment. Students at any level of training and faculty from primarily undergraduate institutions are especially encouraged to apply, as the award is designed to enhance student training in psychophysiology. Applications must be received via email by Sept 1, 2009. Applications are short (3-5 pages), and have a budget of up to $5000. Funds will be available on the last day of the 2009 SPR meeting in Berlin (October 24, 2009). Up to $500 of these funds can be used to defray conference travel costs. Recipients will be announced at the Saturday Business Luncheon at the annual meeting in Berlin. Eligibility for the award requires attendance at the 2009 SPR meeting; awardees should plan to attend the business lunch unless religious restrictions prevent them from doing so.
The application packet can be downloaded directly from this link.
Travel Grants for the 2009 Annual Meeting.
The aim of the SPR travel grant program is to help psychophysiologists from developing countries in Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe become members of the SPR and participate actively in its annual meetings. The awards include a travel grant (up to $1,500 for Latin American grantees, $1,600 for Asian grantees, and $1,000 for East European grantees); free registration fee for the 2009 conference, and free SPR membership for 2009. A large number of grants are available, but applications are evaluated competitively based on merit, geographical distribution and other factors.
