GSA International 2023 Travel Grant

To apply for the GSA International 2023 Travel Grant:

You will be asked to provide a title and author list for the abstract you plan to submit. Applicants who intend to submit an abstract will be considered for travel grants, with the expectation that you will submit your abstract on time and be presenting your abstract in-person* or virtually at the meeting (*posters must be presented in-person).

 

The deadline for applications is 8 June 2023. GSA International management board members intend to let applicants know about their status (successful or not) by 23 June 2023.

The GSA Connects 2023 meeting will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, as an in-person meeting, with some on-demand content available for purchasing after the event is over. To fly to the US, please check with your country’s guidelines as well as US regulations regarding requirements related to COVID-19 such as proof of a negative COVID test.

Information on the GSA International Travel Grants:

The GSA International Travel Grants are awarded annually. Applicants do not need to be members of the GSA or GSA International to apply (although it is preferred). Successful applicants must reside outside of North America, and they must present at the GSA meeting to be eligible to receive the grant funds via wire transfer after the meeting. Given the restructuring of the meeting registration fees, GSA International will match the new fees for the successful applicants.

The GSA International Travel Grants are limited, both in number of awards and in allocations. It is highly recommended that you seek local funding to offset the cost of attending the GSA Connects annual meeting. Please bear in mind that the GSA seeks student volunteers to aid in registration and other meeting related activities, and selected students will receive registration waivers. The call for student volunteers will come from within the meeting department.
