Travel Grant Programs

About ACIC 2022 Travel Grants

We are excited to announce we are able to provide multiple travel grants to offset conference expenses for junior researchers, students, and postdocs. Successful applicants will be awarded for amounts up to a maximum of $1,000.

• This funding applies to REGISTRATION and TRAVEL only (e.g., registration fees, transportation and lodging).

• Funding may not be used for purchase of related books, materials, meals.

• Funding will not be granted for transportation or lodging outside of the dates of the conference.

Travel grant recipients will be guaranteed the opportunity to present, either as a talk or poster presentation. These travel grants are intended to assist promising scholars who otherwise might not be able to attend the conference, support efforts to increase attendance by individuals from historically underrepresented groups (e.g. racial and ethnic minorities, women and gender minorities, first-generation college or graduate students, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those with disabilities) as well as first-time attendees to the American Causal Inference Conference. We are no longer taking applications and plan to notify award winners the first week in April.

Student/Postdoc Travel Grant Application 

Additional funding is available for student/postdoc travel grants and we are accepting applications.  If you are awarded a travel grant, please submit invoices/receipts for reimbursements after you return from the conference.

Student/Postdoc applicants must supply:

• A current CV

• Self-statement (500 words or less)

• Abstract for proposed project to be presented during the conference (either talk or poster)

Self Statement: Applicants must submit a self-statement describing their professional goals; how attending the conference will benefit the student; the student's contribution to diversity efforts; their financial need for the award; and a description of other funding sources available to the student should they not receive the travel award.
