A conference grant is not only a travel request. The application should explain your role: presenting a paper, volunteering, joining a workshop, meeting collaborators, or learning a method.
Budget clarity builds trust. Separate registration, transport, accommodation, visa, food, and local travel. Mention any matching funds from your department.
After the event, keep evidence of attendance and receipts. Many awards reimburse after travel rather than paying in advance.
