Funds can be used towards travel, subsistence, equipment and/or other normal research expenses. Applications should include (a) a one-page vita, with full contact details, (b) a two-page statement, detailing the nature of the proposed research and its expected contribution, and (c) a one page provisional budget, detailing the uses to which award funds would be put. Awardees must be registered graduate students throughout the duration of the award. Please note that two EGSG Board members will review the applications and make a recommendation to the EGSG Board.
