Such awards are applied directly toward conference registration and hotel, while other travel costs require the submission of receipts. Research grants are given to the institution or the student depending upon circumstances. However, follow up on research progress is conducted by CDS. No individual recipient received more than $5,000 in 2025. In fact, no awards exceeded $750 in 2025. | ExplanationTxt |
