The EHPS is pleased to announce that applications for Conference/CREATE Workshop/Synergy Expert Meeting/Bring a Stakeholder grants are now open.
Deadline for grant applications: Monday 22nd May 2023

The purpose of the conference/workshop grants is to encourage talented researchers and graduate students who do not otherwise have access to funding to attend the EHPS conference and/or the CREATE workshop or Synergy Expert meeting.

EHPS Conference Grants

EHPS Conference grants are intended for graduate students and researchers who plan to attend the EHPS conference. Each grant is for a maximum of 900 euros toward conference registration, accommodation, and travel. Grant is contingent upon having a paper or a poster accepted for the conference.

Grant Selection Process

Please send your application electronically to the Grants Officer (grants@ehps.net).

Reviewing:
Applications will be reviewed by a committee led by the Grants Officer and with a Synergy reviewer and a CREATE reviewer.
Notifications:
Decisions on acceptance/rejection of submitted applications will be sent within three weeks after the deadline. A condition of funding is that successful awardees will be required to write an individual Conference report for potential publication in EHP.
