Dear SIM members,
Following our May announcement regarding SIM Travel Awards 2025, we are in a position to report that SIM has offered a total of 28 awards to the value of $350 each. Consistent with SIM policy, the awards have been offered to current SIM members who are included in the Annual Meeting Program in relation to at least one event (paper/session) accepted in the SIM Program, and priority was given to students (PhD candidates) participating in the SIM Doctoral Consortium (DC) and to early career researchers (junior faculty) participating in the SIM-ONE Junior Faculty Consortium (JFC). The funding to support these awards was provided by a budget of $8,500 (per division) from AOM and an additional contribution of $1,300 from the SIM budget.
We are pleased we have been able to offer a good number of higher value travel awards, consistent with previous years. However, given the funding constraints, we will be unable to release an open call as originally intended, as no further travel awards are available.
If you have any queries about any of the above, please reply to this message or contact me.
Wishing you every success,
Cristina Neesham
SIM Past Division Chair
