Grants and Travel Funds

SPR Research Fellowship Training Award

Due August 15, 2010, for funding to begin early October 2010.

The Education and Training Committee and the Committee to Promote Student Interests are pleased to announce that SPR will once again provide Research Fellowship Training Awards. The award will allow students, postdocs, or faculty to obtain mentorship/training in psychophysiological assessment/analysis with experts in the field, which they could not get at their home institution. This could involve travel to a remote site or travel expenses for a remote mentor to visit the applicant's lab. These awards could also be used for the purchase of some necessary equipment to supplement a student/postdoc's training or to enhance a faculty member's capability for training others in psychophysiological techniques (especially those at primarily undergraduate institutions). Each application may include a budget of up to $5000 (although smaller budgeted applications are encouraged and would allow for more applications to be funded). Applications are short (3-5 pages) and funds will be available in early October 2010. Up to $500 of these funds can be used to defray conference travel costs. Recipients will be announced at the Saturday Business Luncheon at the annual meeting in Portland. Eligibility for the award requires attendance at the 2010 SPR meeting; awardees should plan to attend the business lunch unless religious restrictions prevent them from doing so. The deadline for applications will be August 15, 2010 and the application packet is available here.

AIM OF THE GRANTS:

The aim of the SPR travel grant program is to help psychophysiologists from developing countries in Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe become members of the SPR and participate actively in its annual meetings. The awards include a travel grant up to $1,500, free registration fee for the 2010 conference, and free SPR membership for 2010. A large number of grants are available, but applications are evaluated competitively based on merit, geographical distribution and other factors.

CONDITIONS OF APPLICATION:

(b) The abstract must report research within the domain of human psychophysiology using physiological measures of central (e.g., EEG, MEG, ERP, fMRI etc.) or peripheral nervous system functions (e.g., somatic reflexes, autonomic activity, endocrine, immune functions etc.).
(c) Applicants at research centers or universities located in Latin America, Asia (except Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan) or Eastern Europe are eligible. If sufficient funds are available, scholars from these areas who are temporarily working in economically advantaged countries will be considered.
(d) Applicants must either be a member of the SPR or have applied for membership. (e) The grantees of last year are eligible to apply again although candidates who have not yet received an award have higher priority.

(b) A copy of the abstract that will be submitted for the 50th annual meeting via the SPR web site: www.sprweb.org. Note that the final decision regarding each candidate depends on abstract acceptance by program committee.
(c) A copy of membership application if not currently a member. (Although no payment is required, please indicate that you are applying for the SPR travel grant in the "Method of Payment" section of the SPR membership application form. If a candidate does not win the award and does not pay the dues his/her application may be withdrawn.)
