Travel Awards for the 2001 Meetings of the Population Association of America

The annual meetings of the Population Association of America (PAA), the largest annual scientific population conference in the world, contain a large number of sessions which focus on international and developing world issues. The year 2001 meetings will be held in Washington D.C. from 29-31 March. Thanks to support from the Mellon and Hewlett foundations, the PAA can award approximately 20 travel grants to scholars from countries in the developing world (Africa, Asia, Latin America) or Eastern Europe to attend the meetings. These grants pay for round-trip transportation (including an option stopover at a population research or training institution in North America for collaborative work), hotel and food expenses during the PAA meetings, registration fees, and a one-year membership to the PAA.

Applicants must be residents of countries in these regions, who are not paid an international salary and who have not received a travel award in the past two years. In selecting recipients, priority is given to sole or first authors of papers accepted for a regular session, who come from a broad set of regions and institutions, and who plan a stopover at a population institution during their trip. The deadline for proposing to present a paper at the meetings is 30 September 2000 and the deadline for applying for a travel award is 24 November 2000. Candidates will typically need to apply for a travel grant before learning if their paper was accepted for presentation.
