ISN 2025 Travel grants for Trainees
Funds from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders in the National Institutes of Health allow ISN to offer a limited number of travel awards. Eligible persons are:
- Trainees in a field of science or a profession with a relationship to neurogastronomy. Students, fellows, and postdoctoral trainees are eligible.
- Citizens of the USA (or holders of green cards)
- Trainees from an institution more than 50 miles from the site of the symposium
Procedures
- Review of applications will occur on a rolling basis even prior to the application deadline, which is July 14, 2025.
- Submit a cover letter explaining your reason for requesting a travel award and the relevance of your training or profession to neurogastronomy. In this letter, provide estimates of travel and lodging costs. Symposium registration ($25) and meals are not covered by the travel award. Please also provide contact information for two persons capable of verifying trainee status. Include your surname in the file name.
- Submit a resume or curriculum vita and include your surname in the file name.
- Submit these two files as attachments to: neurogastronomyabstracts@gmail.com
- Note that we prefer to make the travel arrangements for awardees.
Review criteria and rules
Only US citizens and holders of green cards are eligible. Awards may be used to cover travel only within North America. We strive to cover the full costs of travel and lodging, and in most cases are successful, but award amounts vary and in some cases may cover only part of the costs of attending the meeting. Travel awards may not be used to pay for special events outside the regular program, such as the ISN Dinner Workshop.
