Only one student per project will be funded. Requests must be submitted to OSA at least 30 days BEFORE the conference date.

As publishing fees for peer-reviewed manuscripts can be costly, a JABSOM Student Publications Fund was created to assist both medical and graduate students in sharing their JABSOM generated research findings by supporting publication efforts. To ensure many students can be supported through this fund, applications are reviewed on a quarterly basis.
The maximum amount of funding available per student for peer-reviewed publications is: case report - $750; other research - $1,500. Please note the year of application is defined by the date of the invoice from the journal.
