Application Deadline: April 15, 2026
The Developing Neuroethology award provides travel support for ISN members from emerging and developing countries to attend and present their work at the International Congress of Neuroethology. The award amount is reimbursement of expenses up to $1500.00 USD. Submission of receipts to the ISN Treasurer is required for reimbursement.
Application Guidelines and Eligibility
Applications typically include the following:
- A preliminary abstract including the names of authors and their institutions
- The type of presentation (oral or poster) planned
- A brief justification for the request of travel funds
- The amount of matching funds available from the applicant’s institution (or, if none, a letter from the PI or the applicant’s Department Chair supporting the request)
- A current CV and publication list
Priority is given to members with the greatest need and merits. All applicants will be considered for special membership status (see Membership), and need not apply separately for special membership. Please note that winners of this award who register for the ICN but are unable to attend are eligible for a full refund of their registration.
Applications should be emailed to the ISN Business Office as a single PDF file at isn.ks@kwglobal.com
