International Society of Biomechanics (ISB)
Student Grant Guidelines
Student members of ISB are eligible for the following three grants. A
number of competitive grants will be awarded each year. All grant
amounts are shown in US dollars.
1) The Matching Dissertation Grant Program:
There will be several competitive grants of $2000 made for doctoral
dissertation research. A condition is that the applicant will have a
commitment from her/his institution or another source to
provide a further matching $2000. This program is applicable to those who
are doctoral candidates and are seeking assistance with costs of their
dissertation research.
Applications should include the following:
a) a 3 page summary which includes the purpose, hypotheses, reference
to key related literature, study design, methods, timetable for the
measurements and budget.
b) CV of the applicant: 2-3 pages in length (include list of publications,
current grade point average, results of any standardized tests that the
applicant has taken (ie.GRE)).
c) a document from her/his institution or other source which ensures
provision of the matching $2000
d) a one page recommendation from the dissertation advisor who must
also be an ISB member at the time of application.
Applications are to be received by January 15, 1999. Notification to
applicants will be by March 25, 1999. Recipients will present results at the
ISB Congress and acknowledge ISB support in any publications. A report
to the council will include accounting of how funds were spent. Recipients
will be encouraged to publish their work in one of the ISB-affiliated journals.
2) The International Travel Grant Program:
In order to allow student members to travel abroad to experience science in
other cultures, we will offer several grants of $2000 for travel which is related
to biomechanics research. A report on the accomplishments during
the trip will be expected by the Executive Council. Applications should
include:
a) 3 page proposal which includes the purpose of the visit, timetable,
activities to be involved in, the total budget for the visit (including other
financial assistance, etc.)
b) CV of the applicant: 2-3 pages in length (include list of publications,
current grade point average, results of any standardized tests that the
applicant has taken (ie. GRE)).
c) a document from the host institution verifying support for the visit
d) a recommendation letter of support for the travel from the applicant's
supervisor who must also be an ISB member at the time of application.
Applications are to be received by January 15, 1999. Notification to applicants
will be by March 25, 1999. Recipients will submit a brief report to the committee
which will be published in the Newsletter.
3) The Congress Travel Grant Program:
This grant is offered only in the years of ISB Congress, therefore, this grant will
be offered in 1999. ISB Congresses provide a wonderful opportunity for exchange
of information and for meeting other scientists who can be influential in the
development of new directions. By virtue of the need to move the congresses
between different continents, it is often very difficult for students to afford to
travel to the Congresses or to pay the registration fee if they can travel. Starting
with the 1999 ISB Congress in Calgary, we will offer several travel
grants of $1000 to student members who will be presenting their research
results at ISB Congresses.
Applications should include the following:
a) the proposal should have a maximum length of 3-4 pages including a
copy of the submitted abstract and, the total budget for the travel.
b) CV of the applicant: 2-3 pages in length (include list of publications,
current grade point average, results of any standardized tests that the
applicant has taken (ie. GRE)).
c) a one page recommendation from the supervisor who must also be an
ISB member at the time of application.
Recipients will submit a brief report to the committee which will be published in
the Newsletter. Applications are to be received by January 15, 1999. Notification
to applicants will be by March 25, 1999.
