Young Investigator Travel Award

Attending a major conference is particularly important for young researchers because it allows them to present their work to an expert audience and gives them the opportunity to make useful contacts. However, SMBE recognizes that travel funds may not be available at this critical time. Postdoctoral researchers and graduate students may apply for travel awards to attend the annual SMBE meeting. 

When you submit your abstract for the annual meeting indicate that you wish to apply for this award.
Online registration and the abstract submission system for the 2016 SMBE meeting can be found HERE.
