2010 ECPN Annual Meeting Scholarship Program

The Society for Prevention Research ECPN Scholarship Program is now accepting applications online for the 2010 Annual Meeting in Denver, CO. All applications are due by Friday, April 2, 2010.

Program Purpose: The SPR/ECPN Scholarship Program is designed to provide support for researchers early in their careers to attend the Annual Meeting of the Society for Prevention Research.

The meeting and these scholarships are funded in part through an R-13 grant funded by several institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Eligibility: Eligible candidates must be members of SPR. Candidates may submit membership applications at the same time as their scholarship application. Candidates will be selected by the ECPN Steering Committee based on need and whether or not the candidate will be presenting at the annual meeting.

Awards: In past years, we have been able to accommodate the majority of ECPN'ers who applied with some amount of support, typically granted as a "lump sum" to cover costs associated with travel, lodging, meals, and registration. So that we can assist as many people as possible, the awards are generally limited to $500 for domestic members. ECPN will make a concerted effort to notify applicants via e-mail of awards by April 16, 2010.

Please note that eligible applicants may also apply for the SPR Minority Scholarship Program. However, only one or the other award, not both, may potentially be awarded.

Program Purpose: The Minority Scholarship Program is designed to provide support for students and researchers of color to attend the Annual Meeting of the Society for Prevention Research. The Program is designed to expand the pool of students and researchers of color interested in the field of prevention.

Awards have typically been in the $500 range, but we have occasionally awarded more funding, depending on circumstances. As always, special consideration will be given to those who are new to the field of prevention. In addition, membership in the Society for Prevention Research is required for consideration. Candidates may submit membership applications at the same time as their scholarship application.

Awards: Scholarships will be based on need to be used towards expenses associated with attending the Annual Meeting (such as airfare, hotel, meals, etc.). The Diversity Network Committee will make a concerted effort to notify applicants via e-mail of awards by April 16, 2010.
