KAWSE accepting applications for ADVANCE Postdoctoral Researcher Travel Fund Award
The K-State Office for the Advancement of Women in Science and Engineering, or KAWSE, is accepting applications for ADVANCE Postdoctoral Researchers Travel Fund Award.
The deadline for the submission of proposals is Nov. 22, 2024, for travel scheduled January 2025 through December 2025.
The purpose of this award is to enhance the postdoctoral researcher experience and enrich the lives of women in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, disciplines by providing funds for travel to a professional conference. Factors that enhance the postdoctoral researcher experience could include the purpose of the meeting and the extent to which postdoctoral researchers will participate in informal and formal networking opportunities. Factors that lead to enriching the lives of women in STEM disciplines could include participating in professional development workshops relevant to gender inequality and inequity. Up to $500 will be provided by the KAWSE Office toward the expenses associated with presentation at a professional conference.
Preference will be given to first-time applicants, and the number of awards is contingent on funding. Questions may be sent to Keyla Harrison with KAWSE at sharrisn@k-state.edu. If you need any further information, please call 785-532-6088 or email kawse@k-state.edu.
The mission of the K-State Office for the Advancement of Women in Science and Engineering is to enrich the lives of women in STEM. To do this, we host a variety of programs and events through the ADVANCE program for postdoctoral researchers, faculty and staff in STEM.
