Student travel awards
We are pleased to announce that effective immediately the Department of Biochemistry and Physiology will offer Travel Awards to partially support Biochemistry and Physiology graduate students to attend conferences to present their research. There will be two requests for Travel Awards each year for covering Summer/Fall (application deadline: May 1st) and again for Winter/Spring (Application deadline Oct 1st). The travel award will be in the amount of $500.
To apply: please email your application to the Graduate Program Track Director (Dr. Ann Louise Olson for Biochemistry Track and Dr. Tiangang Li for Physiology track). The application is a single PDF file including the applicant’s information, detailed meeting information and a copy of the Abstract (indicating the current status: plan to submit, submitted and pending acceptance, accepted for oral/poster presentation, etc.)
Eligibility: Students who apply for the Travel Award should have been admitted into PhD candidacy and is the presenter of an accepted abstract. Students who have submitted an abstract to a conference but have not received acceptance notice for presentation are eligible to apply. If selected, the Travel Award will be given once the formal presentation notice is received.
