Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are invited to submit an application to the CASS (Contributing to Australian Scholarship and Science) Foundation travel grants to make presentations of their research findings at international conferences/meetings/related activities.

The CASS Travel Grants are available to assist ECRs to attend international conferences. The applicant is expected to be presenting new research as a platform presentation or as a poster where the applicant is first author. The grants are not available for travel to attend conferences being held in Australia.

Eligibility:
All applicants must be Australian Citizens or have a visa allowing them to remain permanently in Australia. A visa issued for the purpose of full time study in Australia does not constitute permanent resident status for the purpose of a CASS Travel Grant application.

In most cases, CASS will consider an ECR to be a researcher who is within seven or eight years of the start of their research career post-PhD.

Value:
The maximum amount of a CASS Travel Grant that may be awarded is the lesser of $6,000 or 80% of the "Total Cost" as disclosed on the Application Form.

Round 2 Deadline: August 21st

Submission : By email, including travel cost quote and letter of support from your Head of School.  Please also submit a duplicate copy to Christine Casey in UWA’s Research Grants Office or to Debbie Thackray , Faculty Research Development Officer.

For further information and to download the application form, please visit the CASS Foundation Website.
