Please see here the application requirements
- The courses last usually 1-3 days and tend to occur in underserved areas of the world.
- They are usually attended by 50-200 people, including trainees, pediatric nephrologists, pediatricians, nurses and other health professionals. Other formats can also be proposed.
- Examples of course formats include hands-on training courses, regional courses that are repeated at different locations during the year, and small group retreats with an experienced IPNA tutor.
- The “IPNA teaching course program” does not sponsor general meetings of regional, national or international societies or larger congresses on specific topics. Applications for pre-congress and post-congress courses are discouraged, but can be accepted if the congress takes place in a second or third world locations and if the course is clearly identified as an “IPNA-sponsored course”.
- IPNA will only cover speaker expenses during the duration of the course.
- IPNA support cannot be used as a source of income for the main meeting. If speakers are invited to give additional lectures at the main meeting, the additional costs must be cover by the congress organization.
- For courses two or more days in duration, the budget is limited to $7000 USD. For a one-day course, the budget is usually $5000 USD or less, but may be increased to $7000 USD if there is convincing justification.
- IPNA sponsorship can only be used to pay for travel and accommodation of speakers that are active IPNA members, for educational material, or to promote attendance of young trainees.
- Food and beverages cannot be included in the budget.
- All IPNA Teaching Courses are nonprofit.
All applications should include a detailed budget estimation, bank details for transfer of the funds and the course program (a draft program is acceptable).
