Travel Grant Application Process Begins Today

The travel grant application process for the ISA 2011 Annual Convention begins today. The ISA travel grant program has been created to allow junior scholars and senior graduate students some assistance to enable them to attend conferences that would otherwise be out of reach. Therefore, all of these grants will be awarded to junior scholars and senior graduate students. There is only a relatively small budget set aside for this travel grant. Any grants awarded are considered to be "seed" support of a limited amount and will only assist in funding a limited part of the entire cost of attendance. Travel grants are available only for ISA members. If you are not an ISA member you may still apply, your membership fee will be deducted from your grant.You may use the MyISA system to apply. Applications are due by September 9, 2010. Applicants will be notified about their award status on Oct. 11th. Please see the grant guidelines for more information.

Proposal Deadline for Annual Convention

This is a one-week deadline reminder for the annual convention. As you know, the deadline to submit paper and panel proposals for the 2011 Annual Convention is June 1st, and we typically get he majority of those proposals in the last week. It's also helpful (and less stressful) to remember that you may work on drafts of your proposals in the MyISA system and continue to save them as drafts until you submit them. If you have already submitted a proposal and would like to make changes to it you may unsubmit it, revise it, and submit it by the deadline. Please see theconvention website for more information.

Our theme is Global Governance - Political Authority in Transition and we invite proposals addressing problems of global governance in the 21st century.
