In 2015 the School has received a generous anonymous $2000
donation to be put toward prize(s) to assist BMedSc (Hons) student(s) to attend
a conference to communicate the findings of their research project.
Applications are now being accepted from students for these
funds. It can be for a conference in the future or one that has already been
attended (related to the Honours research).
We've set the deadline for applications at Friday
28th August 2015.
We will then convene a small panel to consider applications
and the decision will be communicated Thursday 24th September. Committee decision will be final - no haggling will be
entered into!
The only prerequisite is that you are a 2015 BMedSc(Hons)
student enrolled through the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health.
Preference will be given:
- If documentation is supplied showing that the abstract has
already been accepted by the conference
- oral presentations will rank higher than poster
presentations
- A brief letter of support from your supervisor will be
advantageous but you can still apply without such a letter.
- If you are the first author
Previous MBBS academic results will not be taken into consideration
for this prize.
Please use the attached template for your application and
then email application to bmedsci.scs@monash.edu
Disbursement of the funds will be as cash to be applied by
the student towards conference related expenses.
If it for a future conference, we may withhold the prize
until the student receives confirmation that abstract has been selected for
presentation.
Depending on number of applicants, the funds may be distributed
in one block of $2000 or divided (eg. 4 x $500).
The prize is not designed to cover the full cost of
attending a conference, and no such guarantee is given.
Go ahead and apply. There is nothing to lose.
Commonly the presentations occur in the year AFTER the
BMedSc. If you think you might present at a 2016 conference, you should
still apply. We can award the prize and hold onto the funds until your abstract
is accepted.
