IRISH ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION TRAVEL GRANT SCHEME 

The goal of the IEA Travel Grant Scheme is to aid in the dissemination and promotion of economic research by economists working on the island of Ireland.  Funding will be awarded based on the quality of the work, the quality of the conference and the benefit of the conference to the applicant’s research, network and career progression, with an emphasis on early career researchers. 

Grant applications will be considered by members of the IEA Council.  Applications will be evaluated upon receipt.  Total funding available per six-month period, the first ending 30 April the second ending 31 October, is capped at €5,000, where all available funds may not be allocated.

All grant recipients are required to acknowledge the funding in the conference presentation and in a footnote to the paper when published.

Budget Justification:  
The budget justification is the narrative explanation of the budget and should not be used for further scientific explanation. Applicants are required to justify the individual costs as entered above. You should also provide a justification as to why funding is being requested through the IEA Scheme.
