RESEARCH DISSEMINATION TRAVEL AWARD
The EMDR Research Foundation offers a travel award of up to $1,000 to support the dissemination of research findings by clinicians, doctoral students, or university faculty presenting their research at local, national, and international non-EMDR professional meetings. The travel award must be applied for and awarded prior to meeting attendance. Distribution of the funds will be made after the meeting upon submission of the required documentation.
Eligibility
Any clinician, doctoral student, or faculty member that presents their EMDR focused research at a local, national or international non-EMDR professional conference is eligible to receive a travel award. As an international organization the EMDR Research Foundation accepts proposals from U.S. and international applicants; however, applications must be submitted in English and budgets developed in U.S. dollars.
Allowable Expenses
Allowable expenses include those direct costs associated with conference attendance such as conference registration, airfare, and lodging. Disbursement of funds will be made post conference and requires a copy of the conference program with the presenter’s name and presentation title and submission of travel-related receipts.
Award Criteria:
The presentation must:
-
Be based upon research conducted specifically on EMDR.
-
Be peer-reviewed or invited.
