Student Travel Grants for the 2010 Division of Atmospheric and Space Physics (DASP) Meeting and the 2010 Canadian GeoSpace Monitoring (CGSM) Science Meeting. The Canadian Space Agency is pleased to offer subsidies to Canadian students to help defray travel costs to the venue of the meetings, meals and accommodations. Any costs incurred beyond the amount of the subsidy are the responsibility of the student.

As part of its dedication to promote public awareness of Aerospace Medicine, and to encourage Canadians to pursue interests in this area, the CSA seeks to provide training opportunities for Canadian medical students and residents in Aerospace Medicine. Currently, two Aerospace Medicine training opportunities are available at NASA, one at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) and one at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). The JSC Aerospace Medicine Clerkship Program is designed to provide students with exposure to the clinical, operational and research aspects of Space Medicine. The KSC Medical Education Program emphasizes Aerospace Medicine and Occupational Medicine. In an effort to extend this program to the International Space Station (ISS) Partners, both the JSC Aerospace Medicine Clerkship Program and KSC Medical Education Program have agreed to provide the CSA with the space for Canadian medical students or residents each year.
