PDS Calendar


Student Responsibility

  • It is the student’s responsibility to coordinate external deadlines with the PDS deadlines.
  • Please pay close attention to the deadlines, notification dates, and payment schedules when preparing your application. We do not require that students be accepted into conference, training, or research archives before submitting a request for funding.
  • All applications (conferences, training, and research opportunities) will be considered as long as the notification date of the application cycle is before the start date of the proposed conference, training, or research activity. If the activity will start during the current PDS cycle or it has already concluded, it is not eligible for PDS funding. Please refer to the PDS Handbook for more information.

The deadlines and date below pertain to the 2022-23 academic year. The PDS application portal is slated to start receiving applications starting September 1, 2022. Prior to this date, students may not be able to submit applications.
