The value of the award will be up to a maximum of $500 CAD for each student, according to CDSA travel policy and procedures.
A student may receive the International Research Presentation Award only once during their lifetime.
Selection Criteria
The CDSA International Research Presentation Award Sub-Committee will review all applications and make recommendations based on the criteria below. All eligible applications will then be voted on by the Board of Directors, using a grading scale.
