Faculty of Environment Graduate Student Research Dissemination Award

Eligibility & selection criteria:

• Graduate students must be registered full-time or part-time in a research-based program or a course-based program with a research component (e.g., applied research project or major research paper) in the Faculty of Environment in the term of the conference.
• Applicants must be presenting their own research (oral, poster, paper), which is of direct benefit to their research/academic studies, at an in-person academic conference.
• Applicants must apply with application found on the Faculty of Environment website.
• As a result of limited funding for this program, applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as they have confirmed that they will be presenting at a conference. Applications will be accepted at any time throughout the year, provided the conference has not already occurred. Applications received after the conference has taken place will be rejected.
• Award recipients must notify the Administrator, Graduate Studies, Faculty of Environment if the attendance type changes (from in-person to virtual), to arrange for repayment of funds awarded.
• Award recipients who do not end up attending the conference are required to notify the Administrator, Graduate Studies, Faculty of Environment to arrange for repayment of funds awarded.
• The Faculty of Environment Graduate Studies Office will perform audits of select award recipients who will be required to provide proof of presentation which may include conference brochure, agenda or screenshot of website listing the recipient as a presenter.
• Students are limited to receiving the award once per fiscal year (May-April).
• Applicants may apply for the award provided that funds still remain for the term in which the conference will take place.
