1. Young Investigators Travel
Grants
With the support from an unrestricted
educational grant from Baxter Healthcare Corporation,
the ISPD 2006 is pleased to offer travel grants to
young investigators who have an abstract submission,
have applied for the grant during abstract submission
and might otherwise have inadequate funds to attend
the Congress. There is no restriction on economic status
of the applicant's country. The sum of the grant amounts
to US$1000 for presenting authors from Asia, $1,500
for Africa, Australia/New Zealand, Western and Eastern
Europe, and $2000 for North and Latin America. Only
applications from those who are under 40 years of age,
as of 25 August 2006, will be accepted.
Travel grants will be offered only
to applicants whose abstracts are rated with highest
scores (within the same region) by the Scientific Programme
Committee, independent of Baxter Healthcare Corporation.
A supporting letter from the Division Chief will add
points to the application and can be faxed or e-mailed
to the Secretariat quoting the abstract number and
the name of the applicant. For application, please
specify on your online abstract submission form. The
deadline for application is 15
March 2006.
No other grants or financial support
of any kind in addition to the travel grants will be
given from the Congress. It is emphasized that the
awardees have to register and pay the registration
fee independently.
The travel grant will be granted during the Congress.
