Genetics Society Travel Grants for Junior Scientists

PhD students and postdocs (within two years of viva) who have been members of the Genetics Society for at least one year may apply for grants of up to £300 to attend conferences in the area of Genetics that are not sponsored by the Genetics Society (Please note a maximum of one grant every three years will be awarded to any junior scientist).

Applications should be submitted by email at least one month before the meeting, to the Exeutive Officer, Christine Fender (christine.fender@genetics.org.uk). Applications should include a brief outline of the value of the meeting to the applicant, an outline of any presentation to be made at the meeting and estimated costs. Please ask your supervisor to send a very brief email in support. Recipients of travel grants may be asked to write a short report which may be included in the newsletter.
