How to Participate
Open Pool
There are four separate open-pool competitions to attend IQMR 2025: the general open pool; an open pool for researchers at African scholarly institutions; an open pool for researchers at Latin American scholarly institutions; and an open pool for scholars based at scholarly institutions in the Arab MENA region. You can find links to the separate application forms below.
Scholars admitted through the general open pool will have their participation at IQMR covered, receive a stipend to contribute towards the cost of meals, and have a double (shared) hotel room covered for the duration of the institute. General open-pool attendees will be responsible for their own transportation costs to and from Syracuse University.
Scholars admitted through the African, Latin American and MENA open-pool competitions will have participation at IQMR covered, will receive a stipend for meals, and will have a double (shared) hotel room covered for the duration of the institute, as well as roundtrip economy-class airfare.

In addition to receiving applications through the open-pool process, IQMR also accepts participants who are nominated to attend by their home unit (center/department/school) using their own selection procedures. Nominations are due by February 28, 2025 and can be submitted through this webform.
