We plan to award a small number of travel grants at a maximum amount of USD $500 to help defer travel costs which otherwise the participant would need to pay for themselves (i.e. costs not covered by any other grant). Students and post-doctoral trainees with accepted oral presentations will be given priority, but students with accepted posters can also apply. Only one author of an accepted oral/poster will be eligible for a travel grant. All applicants must be a member in good standing of APBioNET or ISCB.
The travel grant will be on a REIMBURSEMENT BASIS either in cash at the Conference or paid through PayPal (awardees to indicate their preference when notified). The travel grant is for part payment of travel expenses and cannot be adjusted against registration fees or any other expense incurred in attending the conference.
The selection criteria are:
- The quality of the applicant’s abstract submission (as judged by the reviews).
- The academic performance of the applicant based on the CV submitted.
- The level of economic development of the country where the student lives.
