The Center for Health and Wellbeing has limited resources to support undergraduate or graduate students invited to present their original global health-related research at an academic conference.

Students interested in requesting CHW financial support for conference presentation should e-mail the following information to Director of Global Health Programs Gilbert Collins at [email protected]:

• Letter of invitation from conference organizers
• Description of conference, with website
• Brief description of student’s original research
• Detailed travel budget (can include transportation, lodging, food, conference fees)

Depending on available funds, CHW may make an award of up to 50% student’s travel budget, with a maximum award of $750 (50% of $1,500).  After the conference, funded students must submit to CHW a written summary of how the presentation went, receipts for the major non-food expenses, and a few photos.

CHW is unfortunately not able to provide students funding to attend conferences at which they are not official presenters.
