Support for scholar attendance at conferences is subject to:
-
Funds being available within the CIHR-SRTC and other sources (e.g. research grants industry sponsors, hospitals, etc). Final funding approval for any given conference will depend on the proposed budget requested.
-
The allocation of these resources is competitive and limited to match dollar-a-dollar the support committed by the scholar supervisor to a maximum of $500.00.
-
Applications must be made in advance for support from the CIHR-SRTC to attend conferences.
-
Scholars must present a paper at the meeting in order to qualify for CIHR-SRTC support. The paper can be in the form of a poster or an oral presentation, must be supervised by a faculty member and must be officially accepted by the meeting organizer.
-
CIHR-SRTC support for scholar attendance at conferences consists of the following:
-
Basic registration fees (Scholar rate)
-
Abstract submission fee
-
Return economy excursion airfare (any travel agent can be used as long as the traveler obtains the lowest possible excursion fare)
-
Shared hotel accommodation (i.e. double occupancy)
-
Ground transportation costs at the destination to a maximum of $50.00 US (transportation costs in Vancouver are not covered)
-
All expenses must be supported by original receipts. Photocopies of credit card statements will not be accepted; please obtain an official printed receipt for all expenses. For airfare, please submit your boarding passes as well as a receipt stating the amount of the airfare.
-
There is no per diem meal allowance. Reasonable meal expenses will be reimbursed, but original receipts must be submitted.
The approval procedure is due in two steps: first, the scholar need to fill in the CIHR-SRTC Conference and Travel Request Form and get your budget approved, and then present the pertinent receipts for reimbursement to the CIHR-SRTC coordinator Leanne Li after your travel is completed.
