The EHPS is pleased to announce the 2024 conference grant funding scheme to support conference and/or workshop or expert meeting attendance at the EHPS Conference in Cascais, Portugal 3rd – 6th September 2024.

For the upcoming conference, the following grants will be offered:

4. Bring a Stakeholder Grants: To optimise the understanding of the implications of health psychology research for policy and practice this grant will enable applicants to bring a non-academic collaborator or partner (such as a healthcare practitioner, policy maker, charitable worker, industrial partner) to the conference for some mutual knowledge transfer. A maximum of 1200 euro is available to go towards the stakeholders’ conference fee, accommodation, travel, and subsistence. Applications must be led by the academic collaborator, with the stakeholder as a named co-applicant.

Reviewing: Conference grant applications will be reviewed by a committee led by the Grants Officer and with a Synergy reviewer and a CREATE reviewer.

CREATE and Synergy grant applications will be dual reviewed by the Grants Officer plus either the CREATE or Synergy reviewer respectively.

‘Bring a Stakeholder’ grant applications will be reviewed by the Grants Officer and the EHPS Executive Committee President or President-Elect.

Notifications: Decisions on acceptance/rejection of submitted applications will be sent after the deadline.

A condition of funding is that successful awardees will be required to write (a) a collective conference report for potential publication in European Health Psychologist (EHP) facilitated by the EHP Editorial Team and (b) a 300-500-word individual short report on how the grant helped with their career or their networking opportunities. These awardee reports are to reflect on what was gained (academically and personally) through the EHPS Grant supported attendance.
