HOW INCISION TRAINS ANS SUPPORTS ITS DELGATIONS?
INCISION POLICY AND ADVOCACY LEADERSHIP (IPAL) FUND
The InciSioN Policy and Advocacy Leadership Fund (IPAL Fund) works as a bootcamp for selected delegates to be efficiently be trained and capacitated to participate in their respective delgations.

FAQS ON INCISION DELEGATIONS
FUNDED TRAVEL
FUNDED TRAVEL
The IPAL Fund managing committee aims to faciliate in-person attendance as much as possible. This includes covering travel and accomodation costs and waiver attendance fees, which depends on the treasury of IPAL Fund crowdfunding efforts from the previous year. Therefore, participation in an InciSioN delegation and IPAL Fund is not a guarantee of full travel cost waiver.
NON-FUNDED TRAVEL
NON-FUNDED TRAVEL
For other high-level global health events not officially on the InciSioN calendar, InciSion members and alumni can still put forward another event they already plan on attending. This means InciSioN will not waiver travel, accomodation or access costs, but delegates will still be able to take advantage of the IPAL Fund curriculum.
