Scholarship information and application
Scholarship applications have now closed.
A limited number of scholarships to cover registration fees and a small contribution towards travel expenses will be available to assist with attendance at the 15th ISPE Asian Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology – Bangalore.
ISPE’s ACPE International Steering Committee, which administers this scholarship program, bases its decisions on factors including but not limited to: having an accepted abstract, country of residence, student status, financial situation, stated reasons for wishing to attend the meeting, and supporting statements.
Registration scholarships will be offered to participants who are attending in-person and will cover attendance at all presentations from 26 – 28 October. If you are successful in receiving a registration scholarship, you will not have to pay the registration fee for either the education sessions or the conference itself. Scholarships will not cover attendance at the conference dinner.
Scholarships may also be awarded which contribute towards expenses associated with travel to the conference and accommodation. In this case ISPE’s 15th ACPE may provide a small contribution to the successful applicants in Indian Rupees (INR). Successful applicants must provide a copy of their expense receipts during the ISPE 15th ACPE 2023 – Bangalore.
Applicants are advised that typically the total amount of financial (scholarship) assistance requested to attend ISPE meetings significantly exceeds the amount of funds the Society is able to allocate. Applicants are strongly encouraged to try to simultaneously find additional funding to attend this meeting from other sources.
Researchers from developing countries, those in genuine financial need, and students who otherwise would be unable to attend ISPE’s 15th ACPE are invited to submit an application.
The deadline for scholarship application submission is Friday 9 June 2023.
