The Lemelson/SPA Conference Fund supports its members in funding conferences on significant topics in the field of psychological anthropology. Members can apply to the Lemelson/SPA Conference Fund to organize a conference at their home institutions. The fund will support requests for department meeting expenses to host the conference, and travel and housing expenses and honoraria to bring outside speakers to the conference. The Fund encourages student participation in such conferences, and will consider requests for funding for students from the host institution to assist in organizing the meeting, and funding to bring limited numbers of students to attend from other institutions. Applicants can request funds to defray costs of preparing, editing and submitting the papers from conferences for publication, including honoraria to authors.
The deadline is February 15, 2013. Please email all application materials to Harold Odden at oddenh@ipfw.edu.
