  • We will prioritize postdocs who have not received one of our travel grants in the past (but if you have received one in the past you can still apply) 
  • We will prioritize postdocs who are presenting (talk or poster) at the conference they wish to attend

Other Requirements:

  • Must include a specific budget justification, with amounts for specific items you will use the money one. For example plane tickets, lodging, registration, etc.
