ISCEV Travel Grants

ISCEV awards six travel grants to assist colleagues who would otherwise be unable to attend the symposium. Currently there are three regional grants of $500 (US dollars) and three overseas grants of $1000 (US dollars). The grants programme does not expect to provide full support but hopefully will provide sufficient assistance that grantees will be able to find local funds for the remainder of the symposium costs. Grantees also receive a free membership to ISCEV for the current year and reduced registration fee offered by the local organizers. Applicants who are not awarded grants retain the privilege of registering without a late fee, if the early registration deadline has passed.

Applications are made directly to the Secretary-General and considered by the ISCEV Awards Committee, which comprises the Secretary General and the three Regional Vice Presidents of ISCEV. Applications must contain:
An abstract for presentation at the symposium. This should be submitted online to the symposium organisers AND sent separately by email to the Secretary-General (see below).

A statement of circumstances including an indication of experience in clinical electrophysiology and the reason that financial assistance is required. If the applicant is a student or junior member, an additional letter of support from the supervisor is required.

Whilst there are no absolute criteria for the grant, the awards committee will consider scientific merit and relevance of the submitted abstract to the symposium topics. Repeat applications from previously-successful applicants, multiple applications from the same laboratory, and applications from investigators with more than 5 years of experience in clinical electrophysiology are discouraged.

Travel grant applications are normally required earlier than the normal deadline for abstract submissions.

Specific deadlines are posted on the Symposium website linked to the ISCEV website www.iscev.org
