BSPP Travel Fund
Submission Deadlines
28th February, 31st May, 31st August and 30th November.
The BSPP Travel Fund is open to members of the Society to assist with expenses for conferences, study tours, courses and visits. Students are particularly encouraged to apply. Awards will be made by BSPP trustees, whose decision shall be final. Applications will be judged in line with the aims of the BSPP and the benefit to the member in terms of learning and career development. The size of the awards offered will depend on the number of applicants and the funds available, but will not exceed half of the total costs, or £1000.
To apply, ensure you meet the eligibility criteria and answer the questions fully. Note, the BSPP will not support more than one travel award to members of a single research group to attend the same event.
Eligibility Criteria
Please note:
- You must have a three-year membership, or have been a member of the Society for at least 12 months by the application deadline. Exceptionally, student members may apply for funds to attend the BSPP Conferences (PPATH/ECPP) if they have been a member for less than 12 months and have a one-year membership.
- Members may only be awarded a travel award once every 24 months.
- Applications can not be submitted for both the travel fund and for a fellowship in the same year.
- Awards must be taken up within 6 months of notification.
- The trustees reserve the right to disregard any of these guidelines for applications of the most exceptional merit.
- The trustees reserve the right to prioritise applicants who have not previously received BSPP funding.
- If additional costs of care incurred by attending a conference would be prohibitive to attending, the BSPP has initiated a Carer Support Grant – see details, eligibility and how to apply here.
It is a requirement of the award that a report is sent to BSPP within one month of the event for inclusion in our newsletter or website. Further information will be supplied to successful applicants.
