The Polar Science Early Career Community Office (PSECCO) invites applications for their PSECCO Conference Travel Grant Program. This funding award is open to U.S.-based polar early career scientists and educators in need of funding to attend an international or domestic conference at which they intend to present polar science-related content.
To be eligible for funding, applicants must:
- Be an early career scientist ranging anywhere from an undergraduate student to seven years or less since receiving their terminal degree OR be a currently practicing educator;
- Be based in the United States and affiliated with a U.S.-based institution;
- Do research/science focused on or related to polar regions or educate about the polar regions; and
- Have demonstrated financial need.
Expectations for applicants related to attending the conference include that each PSECCO-funded grantee must give a presentation at the conference (poster or oral); organize a PSECCO social meet-up event for polar early career scientists and educators at the conference; and submit a report to PSECCO within two months of the conclusion of the conference, which includes a 500-word written reflection on what you got out of attending the conference and at least two photographs of you at the event that can be shared on the PSECCO website and media outlets.
Travel funding grants aim to support polar early career scientists and educators with demonstrated financial need.
PSECCO is committed to supporting and creating opportunities for those from backgrounds underrepresented in the sciences. People from groups historically excluded from the polar sciences are encouraged to apply.
