Travel Awards for individuals from countries with emerging or developing economies
Four travel awards are available for individuals who attend and present at the 2021 SSSR conference. Each award is $1000. We are proceeding with the awards this year even though the conference is virtual. Winners of the 2021 award will be allowed to use the money to travel to a future conference. We expect that two awards will be given to researchers who have a PhD and two awards to those who do not. Applicant must be both a citizen and a resident of a country listed in this Excel file (derived from the World Bank classification system) as low or middle income. Applicant must have a paper accepted at the 2021 SSSR conference and must present at the conference. Please submit the following materials to Rebecca Treiman (rtreiman@wustl.edu) by May 15, 2021:
