Conference Grants, up to a maximum of $5,000, are available to members of Memorial University to defray the costs of conference organization; such items as support travel and subsistence for visiting or invited conference attendees, research assistance, materials and supplies associated with a conference will be considered eligible expenses. Applications for travel to conferences and its related expenses will not be accepted as this is not the mandate of ISER.

Deadline Date: The deadline date is March 1 and such applications will be adjudicated by the Awards Panel prior to consideration by the ISER Executive Committee.

This application must be completed by the person organizing the conference or a person delegated by the conference’s organizing committee.
