The DPH team has identified a range of travel and conference grant schemes, which may be relevant for some DPH conference participants. These are listed below along with links to associated web pages.
DPH has no affiliation to or relationship with any of these schemes, and we cannot provide any guidance on their relevance to DPH, conference participant eligibility, or grant application processes.
Please also note that some schemes on the list below have a long lead time, i.e., you must apply well in advance of your planned conference attendance. Our new Fast Track is designed to support Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and researchers from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who are seeking grant funding to attend our DPH conference. It provides eligible researchers with an early pre-acceptance indication for their proposed abstract, which they can use to support their funding applications.
Grants for those based in low- and middle-income countries in general or in specific LMIC regions/ nations
