Description

The Arctic Research Consortium of the US (ARCUS) Early Career Conference Funding Award supports US-based, early career researchers and students to participate in meetings and events relevant to Arctic research, since 2020. The current fall 2022 funding awards will cover registration fees, session/abstract submission costs, travel, and other relevant expenses related to in-person conference attendance for one US-based conference or event scheduled to take place during the period of 15 October 2022 – 1 April 2023.

This award also aims to specifically increase participation of early career, underrepresented minorities (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; BIPOC) in Arctic research. Preference will be given to:

– BIPOC applicants;
– New applicants to the ARCUS Early Career Conference Funding Award (previous awardees are eligible, however); and
– Applicants who are new to Arctic research and/or have never had the opportunity to attend an Arctic-themed conference or meeting.

This award is for conference attendance and participation—submitting an abstract will be optional. Prior experience in Arctic research is not required. In the event of COVID-19 related travel complications, ARCUS will work with each awardee individually to accommodate necessary schedule or travel changes.

The deadline for submitting an award application will be 5:00 p.m. Alaska time, Friday, 16 September 2022. Award notifications are anticipated to be announced during the week of 3 October 2022. Apply at https://www.arcus.org/programs/early-career-funding

Qualifications

– Applicants should be early-career, defined for this award as a student (undergraduate or graduate) or within six years of terminal degree
– Applicants should be US-based (US citizenship not required)
– Intended conference must be held in the US, have Arctic-relevant sessions/themes (of any discipline), and occur before 1 April 2023
– Eligible expenses include airfare, per diem, lodging, conference registration, abstract/session submission fees, and other relevant expenses upon approval, which will be either paid directly or reimbursed by ARCUS
– Awardees will complete a brief follow-up survey about their experience
