IUPAB Stipend Application Guidelines:

Applicants for this stipend must be a first author of an abstract submitted to this workshop. A letter of support is needed from an advisor confirming their student status or post doc status.

The organizing committee will select the award recipients. Students selected to receive IUPAB funding will be paid directly by SBIC when they arrive in Singapore. They remain responsible for the organization of their trip.

The students should provide original receipts for the claims including a photocopy of their passport and an individual photo. They will also submit a brief post-congress report (max of 150 words). SBIC will later forward all original receipts and other required documents to IUPAB.

Please have all stipend submission documents ready before proceeding with this form, including:

1. A signed letter from the applicant requesting support that includes a statement indicating how this workshop may benefit the applicant's current or future research or training;
2. The applicant's curriculum vitae; and
3. A letter of support from an advisor confirming their student status or post doc status.

Please upload the application materials below. If you have any questions, email them to abstracts@ismrm.org.

Trainee Stipend Application Details:

The workshop organizers welcome applications for trainee stipends. These trainee stipends, funded by the ISMRM Research & Education Fund, are intended to partially subsidize the attendance of clinical trainees (including residents and fellows) within 7 years of obtaining an M.D. or equivalent degree, pre- and post-doctoral fellows within 5 years of obtaining a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, and junior research staff (technologists or research assistants) within 3 years of obtaining a higher degree. Priority will be given to applicants who are first authors on abstracts selected for presentation, but this is not a requirement.
