Graduate Student Research Dissemination Award

Eligibility & selection criteria:

• In the term of the conference, graduate students must be registered full-time or part-time in a research-based program in which a thesis or Master's Research Paper (MRP) will be completed.
• Regardless of the value of award issued, students are limited to receiving the award once per fiscal year (May-April).
• Applicants must be presenting their own research (oral, poster, paper), which is of direct benefit to their research/academic studies, at an in-person or virtual academic conference.
• Applicants must submit a Graduate Student Research Dissemination Award application where they must include a lay summary of the research they will be presenting, as well as a description of the expected outcomes and how the conference will benefit their research/academic studies. Additionally, the applicant must upload a Graduate Student Research Dissemination Award – Supervisor Verification form signed by their supervisor.
• 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.
• Applicants may apply for the award provided that funds still remain for the term in which the conference will take place. If the estimated travel dates or conference dates straddle two academic terms, the application will be considered for the term in which the student's expected return travel date or conference end-date occurs.
