THIS PROGRAM IS NOW ADMINISTERED BY IITR. DO NOT SUBMIT REQUESTS TO IITRHF.

UPDATE (Nov 27, 2016): Research Paper Grants program awarded approx. 50 grants during the years of operation (2009-16). Upon request from IITR, this program has been discontinued to avoid duplication with another program administered by IITR. Future applicants are requested to apply to the office of Dean Alumni Affairs to seek support on research paper presentations. The information below pertains to the discontinued program.  

Under this program, IIT Roorkee Heritage Foundation supports current IITR students/research scholars in their efforts to present research papers at reputed international/domestic conferences. The program provides funds mainly for oral presentation of original research work in order to provide a rich international/national experience to the IITR students/research scholars. The grant covers only a part of the total cost of presenting the research paper (e.g. cost of conference registration, accommodation, transportation etc.). Therefore, students/research scholars are expected to tap their departmental and other resources for meeting rest of the cost.

The program has now been extended to support presentation of posters based on the research done by IITR undergraduate students. Undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in this program.

This program does not cover training, short courses or internships.
 
Selection Criteria
Each application is evaluated on the following criteria (but not limited to): conference reputation; potential of the research to positively impact social welfare and improve technological understanding; and, alignment with applicant’s career objectives. The applicant has to be a student/research scholar registered at IITR at the time of application.
Please note that application from a person who has been awarded financial assistance under this program in last 18 months may not be considered.

Timelines
Students/research scholars are encouraged to submit their request for grant at the earliest once their research paper/poster has been accepted. Since there are a large number of applications received every month, review and final decision by Program Chairs may take up to 6-8 weeks. Applications submitted within 6 weeks of the conference will not be considered. Applications are reviewed on the First In First Out basis without any exception.

Application Requirements: Fill out the application online for consideration of the award. Downloadable form is meant for reference only. 

Grant Application Form < Fill Online > 

You are also required to submit the following documentation to the Program Chairs through email:

  1. Letter of recommendation from IITR Professor/Supervisor/Head of Dept. This is required even for the research done outside IITR.
  2. Copy of the Research paper/Poster accepted
  3. Conference host’s letter of acceptance
  4. Conference brochure
  5. Details of the expenses involved (e.g. registration fee, airfare, hotel, visa fee etc.) and availability of funds from all the sources including requests submitted to DST/CSIR/Dean AA/Department, and personal resources (in tabular format)
  6. Your current resume (2 pages max)

Scanned copies are acceptable. Inability or delay in submitting the required documents will result into rejection of the application or longer processing time.
