The International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development is planning several pre-conference workshops, especially for Early Career Scholars – participants who received a graduate research degree (e.g., Ph.D.) within the past seven years or who are in a graduate program leading to such a degree – to be held in Lisbon on June 16, 2024, the day before the main ISSBD 2024 sessions start.
ISSBD anticipates providing travel support for several qualified early career scholars to attend one of these pre-conference workshops and the ISSBD 2024 conference.
Applications from early career scholars from any country are welcome.
Travel grants and Pre-Conference Workshops are available only to those Early Career Scholars who meet all three of the following eligibility criteria:
Please note: Unlike other pre-conference workshops for other societies, the ISSBD Pre-Conference workshops (and travel grant competition) are not open to other members who do not meet these requirements. In addition, one must apply to and be selected to attend a Pre-Conference workshop.
The application deadline was December 31, 2023, at 23:59 (CST).
A committee will evaluate and select the applications based on your contributions to the 2024 Biennial Meeting, your educational and work achievements, and your reference letter.
We anticipate notifying applicants of the travel grant results in February 2024.
Kindly be aware that applications will exclusively be accepted via our new registration website. To access the information and submit your application, please navigate to the GRANTS section in the menu on the members’ website.
For any inquiries regarding your membership status or if you encounter any difficulties while applying, please don’t hesitate to contact Dr. Karen Castillo at members@issbd.org.
The 2 x 2 Grant for Early Career Scholars (ECS) reflects ISSBD’s commitment to supporting early career developmental scholars of all backgrounds worldwide.
The “2 x 2” element means that 2 Early Career Scholars located in 2 different countries or regions (ideally different continents and one applicant from a majority-world/under-represented country) must apply together. Preferably, the co-applicants should also study different disciplines and show complementary research and methodological skills.
Each pair of applicants must be:
Up to US$5,000 for 1 year (non-renewable). A maximum of 2 grants will be awarded.
Submission Due Date: October 31st, 2023; at 23.59 (GMT)
The application will be reviewed by a selection committee, and decision notification emails will be sent in late December 2023.
