+ Conference Grant Application

You can now download an application form for grant money to help you attend a conference. Limited number of awards will be made every year on a competitive basis. The WABRI Postgraduate Club has limited funds for conference travel awards. Consequently only a limited number of awards will be made every year on a competitive basis. These awards are unlikely to meet all costs associated with attending a conference.

Application for awards is open to both full-time and part-time PhD and MSc students from the School of Biomedical Sciences and the School of Pharmacy (laboratory-based research only). Preference will be given to students (1) who have not previously received an award, and (2) who are giving an oral presentation in a national or international conference. Applicants wishing to attend a conference without giving an oral or poster presentation will not be considered.Detailed guidelines are provided in the applications form.

Some students may receive conference travel awards from funds generously made available to the WABRI Postgraduate Club by an industrial sponsor (e.g. Invitrogen). In that case, students should ensure that appropriate acknowledgement is made in either the poster or oral presentation.

Download and complete your form and submit it to Dr. Ricardo L. Mancera (Program Director for Postgraduate Degrees by Research) in the School of Biomedical Sciences . All applications must be received at least one month prior to the start date of the conference the award is sought for. Early applications are encouraged in order to ensure payment of the award is done prior to the date of the conference.
