Travel Grant Program

Fill out the online application below. You will be prompted to upload the following 3 documents:

• Recommendation from your faculty advisor or mentor on their stationary
• Written confirmation of acceptance to the meeting
• A copy of your CV

All applications will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• The impact of the research on improving quality, safety, experience and value in healthcare operations.
• If the research has been completed and/or submitted for publication
• The scientific rigor or quality of project
• Degree of innovation
• The strength of the mentor’s letter of recommendation.

If you have updated results not included in the abstract, send them for review by the Travel Grant Review Committee as soon as possible. The Travel Grant Review Committee will base their decisions on the quality of the science and the impact on healthcare operations. Each applicant will get notified of the final award decisions by email. Travel Grant winners must include the following statement on printed materials: This work is supported in part by a Travel Scholarship from the University of Chicago Medicine’s Center for Healthcare Delivery Science & Innovation.

Applications are reviewed by the Travel Grant Review Committee, a multidisciplinary team made up of HDSI members who take into consideration the rigor and impact of the research, the prominence of the meeting it will be presented at and the recommendation from the mentor.
