IASSIST Fellows program has provided financial assistance to more than 70 conference participants from around the world since 1997. The program is aimed at data professionals from emerging economies and underrepresented regions, as well as early career data professionals.
The exact amount of support granted is determined annually and may have a special regional or thematic focus. Fellows program application provides more information.
Mission
The mission of the IASSIST Fellows Program is to provide support for data professionals from countries with emerging economies and underrepresented regions who are developing information infrastructures regarding the use and preservation of public and private data and implementing information policy decisions at their home institutions.
The mission of the IASSIST Early Professional Fellows Program is to provide support for early career data professionals from under-resourced institutions and recognize the value of new and innovative ideas from graduates and professionals new to data in the social sciences, who may not otherwise have the funding to travel.
Application process
Please be aware that funding is not intended to cover the entire cost of attending the conference. The applicant’s home institution must provide some level of financial support to supplement an IASSIST Fellow award. Strong preference will be given to first time participants and applicants from those countries currently with insufficient representation at IASSIST. Only fully completed applications will be considered. Applicants submitting a paper for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding.
