Meddin Emerging Researcher Scholarship


In honor of Russell Meddin’s legacy as a long-time bikeshare champion and advocate, NABSA created the Meddin Emerging Researcher Scholarship to give up-and-coming shared micromobility researchers access to our valuable resources and annual conference. Russell was a constant fixture at NABSA conferences and gatherings, and he was known around the world as a generous, knowledgeable, and passionate self-made expert of bikeshare.

The Meddin Scholarship awards a single applicant with one year of access to our members-only Knowledge Share database and virtual events, and an admission ticket to our annual conference, the leading global venue for shared micromobility professionals, transportation leaders, practitioners, and equipment providers.

Eligible applicants include:

  • Masters or Ph.D. student researchers
  • Individuals who have graduated from a relevant program within the last five years
  • An academic in a relevant field
  • Individuals affiliated with an educational institution, nonprofit, thinktank, etc.
  • Will accept applications from unaffiliated researchers who have a track record of publicly accessible relevant research

Applicants must:

  • Be researching shared micromobility
