The Asia-Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) invites APLAR Young Rheumatologists (AYR) to submit their application for the APLAR Conference Travel Grant. APLAR will grant 50-100 need-based travel stipends to AYR members with an accepted abstract for a poster, oral, or rapid-fire presentation for 2024.
The funding of the APLAR Conference Travel Grant is support by both APLAR and SSR. APLAR gratefully acknowledges the generous matched contribution from SSR, the local host society for APLAR 2024, to support this initiative.
The grant assists AYR in covering part of the travel expenses for attending the APLAR Conference. The grant will include complimentary registration to the conference and the following need-based allowance to cover part of the estimated travel and lodging costs of attending the conference:
- US$ 500 if AYR members reside in the country where the annual conference is held.
- US$ 1000 if AYR members reside outside the country where the annual conference is held.
Grant recipients will be personally responsible for all travel arrangements including, but not limited to, air/train/bus tickets, hotel booking, and insurance.
Only completed applications with the correct supporting documents will be considered and the grant decision will be made by the APLAR Scientific Committee based on merit and need. Endorsement by the APLAR Board of Directors on the travel grant is final.
Application for APLAR Congress Travel Grant is open from 15 March 2024 to 5 July 2024.
