IPAM RESEARCH IN INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS FOR STUDENTS (RIPS)

Application Deadline: February 12, 2024

LOCATION: USA

The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) Programs provide an opportunity for talented undergraduate students to work in teams on real-world research projects proposed by sponsors from industry or the public sector. Each student team, with support from their academic mentor and industry mentor, will research the problem and present the results, both orally and in writing, at the end of the program. 

ELIGIBILITY:

Encouraging the careers of women and minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM’s mission and we welcome their applications. You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in either program.

RIPS is a program for students who are enrolled in or have just completed an undergraduate (bachelor’s) degree. Recent graduates who have received their degree no earlier than December 2023 may apply for RIPS 2024. Students with a strong background in mathematics and an interest in seeing how mathematics is used in the real world are encouraged to apply. Most of the projects have a significant computational component, so that proficiency (or at least some experience) in computer science, data analysis or numerical computation is valuable, but not necessary for everyone. Competition is high for the limited slots available. International students are eligible to apply for RIPS-LA.

Foreign students (studying in the US or abroad) are eligible

Graduating seniors are eligible

BENEFIT:

Travel (airfare or mileage reimbursement) to IPAM is covered, subject to certain rules and limits. Housing in the dorms and most meals are included. IPAM also provides limited partial support for future travel to select conferences, support for site-visit with sponsors, and visa sponsorship for selected international students. In addition, participants receive a stipend.

AAHP INTERNATIONAL PHYSICIAN SCHOLARSHIP

Application Deadline:  Thursday, December 14 at 11:59pm CT.

LOCATION: USA

The International Physician Scholarship Fund was established to provide access to quality education for physicians who reside in low and middle-income countries (as defined by the World Bank) to attend and participate in the Annual Assembly.

ELIGIBILITY:

Scholarships are available to physicians who work in hospice and palliative medicine and who care for seriously ill patients. Eligible physicians must permanently reside in low and middle-income countries, as defined by the World Bank.

It is expected that the scholarship recipients will share the knowledge attained from the Annual Assembly to improve the palliative care offerings in their home country. Preference will be given to applicants who:

have not previously attended the Annual Assembly

are junior in their career with 2-10 years of experience primarily in palliative care

whose organizations are considered least able to afford this opportunity.

Recipients are required to obtain a valid (through April 2024) US visa by February 26, 2024. If a visa is not obtained by this date, then the International Physician scholarship may be revoked.

BENEFIT:

This scholarship program provides financial support (up to $5,000) to scholarship recipients to cover ordinary costs associated with attending the Annual Assembly registration* and travel-related expenses, including airfare, taxi fare, meals, and lodging. At the Annual Assembly, scholarship recipients will gain access to the latest clinical information and research updates in hospice and palliative care from leading experts in the field.
