The Regional Studies Association (RSA) Travel Grant helps members travel to events worldwide to present their work, network, and participate in the regional studies community. It supports attendance at both RSA events and relevant events organised by other organisations. Applicants must present a paper in regional studies at the sub-national level.
The programme promotes research dissemination within and across national borders, rather than funding a research project directly. Support is specifically for transport costs, not the broader costs of conference attendance. The RSA publishes reports from previous awardees describing their grant-supported participation, providing examples of how members have used the scheme to share research and build professional connections.
