Funding Sources

There are 3 sources of potential funding for some symposium speakers and for travel/attendance awards to postdocs and students.

ISIRD postdoc and student members

If you are a current member of ISIRD and are a student or postdoc, then there are several competitive awards for each category. The awards are up to $700 for a postdoc and up to $300 for a student. Please indicate at abstract submission if you wish to be considered for these limited awards.

TCS student members

If you are a current member of The Crustacean Society (TCS) and are a student, then there are several competitive awards available. The awards are up to $400 for a TCS student. Please indicate at abstract submission if you wish to be considered for these limited awards.

National Science Foundation (NSF) attendance support

We have secured funding from the NSF that is set aside to support costs of attendance for US citizens or permanent residents, with an additional emphasis on early career researchers. It is further desirable that it support researchers who are diverse as judged by various criteria. These include geography, type of institution, and demographic factors. Any symposium organizer who has speakers who fit these criteria should apply for this money first.

Application for this support funding is through the designated symposium organizers.
