Applicant Guidelines
Conference, Training, and Travel Grant
Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF) is committed to funding the best and brightest US-based researchers to change what’s possible for cerebral palsy.
Conference, Training & Travel Grants are available on a competitive basis to help individuals travel to conduct fieldwork or take part in other collaborations, or to help people attend a training session or conference that’s significant for their work.
These grants are directly related to an applicant’s research or professional development. We prefer applications focused on individuals presenting a paper or poster at a conference, though it’s not required for eligibility.
The maximum amount that can be requested is US$4,000. Applicants may use this grant to cover research fieldwork, return economy airfares, conference registration, accommodation costs, and other related ancillary expenses.
The grant period is for a maximum of 12 months after the notification of the grant award.
The grant award must be spent by the end of the grant period. Extensions aren’t allowed.
- Applicants are based in the United States of America.
- Applicants must be individuals working to accelerate progress in the field of cerebral palsy.
- Cerebral Palsy Alliance employees cannot apply for this grant.
- Applicants must use the online application forms accessible from CPARF’s website.
- Applications are for individuals. If multiple people from the same institution seek support to attend the same conference, they must each submit their own application.
We will send an email acknowledging any and all applications submitted before the closing date.
- The successful applicant will be chosen at the sole discretion of CPARF’s steering committee, and this decision is final. No feedback or comments will be provided.

This grant award will be paid directly to the successful applicant’s bank account in the form of reimbursement of the actual cost incurred for the travel or conference. The reimbursement will only be paid up to the grant award amount.
