Travel Grants
NCME will award a limited number of $1,000 travel grants to members presenting at the conference and with financial need, prioritizing those affected by federal cuts, and including graduate students. These grants reflect NCME’s commitment to ensuring that federal disruptions do not diminish the strength or variety of participation at our meetings. Our goal is simple: Ensure that financial barriers don’t keep anyone from contributing to the scholarship, community, and energy that make our meetings so impactful. Additional information will be posted soon/released when registration goes live.
Schedule
Call for Proposals
The call for proposals is now closed. The Conference Program Committee received a total of 705 proposal submissions, including those for each of the session types, ranging from graduate student in-progress research presentations to training sessions. As we facilitate the review process and begin to develop our program, we are also working with AERA Division D to identify and schedule joint sessions. We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with Division D in ways that build on our shared interests and expertise.
