CaGIS International Conference Grants are awarded to scholars at U.S. institutions , agencies, and companies to support participation in the International Cartographic Conference. Two categories of support are available deriving from separate funding sources:
- Early-Career Scholars (ECSs) who are currently matriculating at or received their latest degree in the past five years
- Non-Early-Career Scholars (non-ECSs)
Support is based on a competitive evaluation of submitted materials, and preference is given to applicants from underrepresented groups, first-time applicants, and single-authored presentations. The number of awards and the amount of support are contingent upon available funds. Funding is contingent upon acceptance of abstracts by the ICC organizing committee, so notification of conference grants is made after the ICC has determined its acceptance of abstracts.
ECS Applicants
Funding for ECSs is provided through a grant by the National Science Foundation. Application materials must include:
- A cover page with the following personal information:
- Name
- Pronouns
- Birth year
- Member of any underrepresented groups, including women, minorities (Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and American Indians or Alaska Natives), or persons with disabilities.
- Postal address
- E-mail address
- Affiliated institution and its location
- Last degree obtained and the date it was obtained or the degree you are currently working on
- Form of participation (in person or virtual, if possible)
- A one- to two-page curriculum vitae indicating your current position and any recent publications, presentations, and awards.
- A copy of the abstract that was also submitted for the ICC.
Non-ECS Applicants
Support for non-ECSs is provided by CaGIS for its society members. Application materials must include the same as for ECSs, as well as proof of current CaGIS membership.
Submission of Applications
Include all of the application materials in order of 1. the cover page, 2. the short vitae, 3. the ICC abstract, and 4. for non-ECSs, the proof of CaGIS membership in a single PDF or Word document titled “Lastname ICC 2025.pdf” (or .doc or .docx), where “Lastname” is the last name of the presenting author.
