Student Travel Subsidies

The DHRN is pleased to have funded forty-nine (49) Student Travel Subsidies with a total value of almost $75,000. This contribution enabled disability health research students to attend national and international conferences where they presented their research and networked with others in the disability health research field. One of the key goals of the DHRN was to assist students and to build capacity for this important area of research.

Below, you will find links to feedback provided by some of the recipients of these travel subsidies. The information provided by each student includes the name of the conference they attended, a short description of their experience at the conference and an abstract of their research.
