Through a generous grant from the international Resource Development Council (IRDC) and funding from other conference sponsors, we are able to provide a limited number of need-based grants to support attendance of EcoHealth ONE by participants from developing nations.

Funding recipients will receive round-trip coach airfare from their place of origin, free registration for EcoHealth ONE, and free room and board for the duration of the conference.   Funding grants will prioritized both by need and by merit.   The EcoHealth ONE Program Committee will be responsible for apportioning grants amongst the funding applicants

If you require financial assistance to attend EcoHealth ONE, please complete and submit one of the these two forms.   The E-mail Funding Application, like our E-mail Abstract Submission Form, requires Adobe Acrobat Reader version 7.0 or higher.   If you do not have this program installed on your computer You may download it here or use the Print and Fax Funding Application listed below.
