Conference Funding
The Program provides funds to enable students to attend and present research at conferences which support the student’s interests. While conference attendance is the main purpose for these funds, other allowable expenses may include research participant recruitment payment, publishing fees, supply purchases, and e-learning resource purchases. All students are eligible to apply via the Conference Funding Application for up to $1,500 per fiscal year (October 1 to September 30). There are limited funds available and preference given to students who have not received funding. Funds do not carry over. Upon approval, students are responsible for purchasing their approved expenses, and submitting a request for reimbursement. Students who are MGB employees must submit their reimbursement request via a Peoplesoft Expense Report. Students who are not MGB employees must submit their Non-Employee Business Expense Report via the Payee Information Form. Further instructions can be found on the PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences Teams.
