Grants and Scholarships

Note that the APCG offers numerous grants and scholarships to help offset the cost of conference attendance and to encourage research - including for early-tenure faculty and non-tenure track faculty. The Grant/Scholarship deadline is Monday, September 15th (no extension)!

The APCG calls for papers and posters from students, faculty, and professionals.  Special sessions, talks, and workshops can be organized as well.

During the registration for the conference, you will be provided a link to the abstract submission form.  Your confirmation email should also include a link to submit abstracts. If you have any issues submitting your paper or poster abstract contact: elena.givental@csueastbay.edu and Jeremy.Patrich@canyons.edu 

Research submissions, abstracts, posters, and special sessions must be submitted by September 22, 2025.

Students who present a paper or poster may choose to enter research competitions.  All student presenters are eligible to be considered for one or more travel awards. Check the appropriate box on the abstract submission form to confirm you interest in the student travel grant. For more information visit the Grants and Scholarship webpage at APCGweb.org

If there are additional authors on your paper, poster, or session, you may include them in the registration process.
