The Student Travel and Participation Grant offer applies to students who submit an abstract presenting their research at the Annual DPP annual meeting. Applications are reviewed by the DPP Program Subcommittee. A student who is first author and presenter are more likely to receive a grant than a student coauthor. The advisor’s statement of need should clearly justify the student's qualifications for a grant.
DPP Policy: An advisor must apply for only one student, and an application is appropriate only if the student would not participate or have difficulty participating without a grant.
Student Career Stage
Grant recipients must be currently enrolled in a PhD program, or an undergraduate program at a U.S. or international institution and conducting cutting-edge research in plasma physics.
Statement of Need
The statement of need should:
-
include a brief description of the student’s research
-
confirm if the student is a first author/presenter or if they are a coauthor
-
detail how participation at the DPP Annual meeting will benefit the student, especially as it pertains to the timeliness of presenting at the meeting for their current career stage
-
clearly justify the student’s qualifications for a grant.
