Supporting members in the early years of their career

Financial support towards the cost of attending overseas meetings

The IOP now offers support for PhD students attending a conference. However, the Medical Physics Group recognises that there is a substantial number of medical physicists who do not follow the academic route into the profession. We are therefore pleased to consider requests for partial financial support towards the cost of attending overseas meetings from group members who are not working towards a PhD.

To be eligible applicants must:

• Provide a statement confirming that they have not received support under IOP's Research Student Conference Fund and are not eligible for RSCF support
• Provide a brief CV
• Provide evidence of acceptance of a presentation (oral or poster) at the meeting in question. The meeting will normally be of sufficient scientific value that it is associated with continuing professional development (or similar) accreditation.
• Provide evidence of Departmental or other financial support towards the cost of attending the meeting
• Provide a letter of support from their Department
• Provide a statement that no concurrent application for support is being made to the CR Barber Trust or the Research Student Conference Fund

The maximum support available to any applicant will be £250.

In general the MPG Committee is able to provide a rapid decision regarding the outcome of applications.

The MPG Committee's decision regarding financial support and its level will be final and non-negotiable in all cases.

Successful applicants will be asked to provide a short written report of the meeting suitable for publication in the MPG's Newsletter.

To apply, please send letters from you and from your department, addressing the points above, together with evidence that your presentation has been accepted, to Dr R  Dickinson at the following address:

Dr R J Dickinson
Department of Bioengineering
Bagrit Centre, South Kensington Campus
Imperial College London
