Travel and Registration Grant Requests
The meeting organizers, as in previous years, are actively raising funds to provide travel grants for emerging fellows in need of additional support. Special consideration will be given to those scientists who have the longest distance to travel and awards will be higher to cover the cost to attend the meeting.
Important dates (to be announced)
Eligibility Requirements
Travel Grants are only available for emerging fellows planning to attend the meeting onsite, and who are the presenting author on their submitted abstract. An emerging fellow is a scientist/researcher with 5 years or less of post-doctorate experience, who does not work independently and is not the "Principal Investigator" on grants.
Travel grant and registration waiver requests will receive consideration based on the following criteria:
- Only emerging fellow may submit for funding consideration. An emerging fellow is a graduate student, or scientist/researcher with five years or fewer of post-doctorate experience who does not work independently and is not the "Principal Investigator" on grants.
- Award will be based on the score earned by the submitted abstract.
- Emerging fellows who are traveling a long distance.
- Financial need of the emerging fellow.
