Writing a Conference Travel Grant Proposal

Conference Travel Grant applicants use the same web submission form as other grant applicants. But in many respects, the conference travel grant proposal contains different kinds of information. Please use the following guidelines when preparing your conference travel grant proposal.

• Your proposal title should be the title of your conference presentation.
• Your proposal summary should be an abstract of your presentation.
• Your proposal needs to state the name, location and date of the conference you wish to attend and a brief description of the group organizing the conference.
• Your budget should present the transportation expenses (in the Transportation budget category) and registration associated with attendance (in the Miscellaneous budget category). You may request food and lodging for the conference (in the Room and Board budget category). However, funding for food and lodging is contingent on your financial aid status, which we will learn through the Financial Aid Office.
• The letter of recommendation on your behalf should explicitly endorse the research that you are presenting. It should comment on the relevance of the conference that you wish to attend.
• Email a copy of your invitation to present at the conference to the UAR office (vpue-research@stanford.edu).
