The Health Sciences Integrated Program (HSIP) is able to support up to five HSIP students per year to attend special meetings and conferences related to the health sciences. Requests for funds will be taken on a first come first served basis, and will be considered based on proposals’ relevance to the student’s dissertation research and the support of the student’s academic advisor or dissertation chair. Preference will be given to students who are presenting at the requested meeting/conference (e.g. poster session, oral presentation, etc) Requests must be submitted in writing by completing this Request Form and prior to conference expenses that funds are needed for. Retroactive reimbursements will not be allowed; Student must be in good academic standing. HSIP will give preference to students with additional sources of travel funding. If you are the primary presenter at the conference, you are required to also apply for travel funds through The Graduate School’s Conference Travel Grant (CTG) program. Please see (http://www.tgs.northwestern.edu/funding/fellowships-andgrants/internal-grants/conference-travel-grant/) for application instructions. Please provide documentation of your application or award to the CTG when you apply for HSIP funds. If you are a doctoral student on a F31/T32 training grant (or other award that provides coverage of conference expenses such as the AHA Predoctoral Fellowship), you may not apply for HSIP funds. Conference attendance required through your training grant (i.e. Academy Health, etc) are typically covered by the award.
