eLife opens the second round of its pilot travel grants programme, which aims to help early-career scientists get exposure and recognition for their work among leading scientists in their fields.
We offer travel grants of up to $1,000 for recipients to participate in a scientific meeting of their choice and disseminate their current research through either an oral or a poster presentation. The recipients of the first round of eLife’s grants highlighted that new collaboration opportunities and dissemination of their new experimental methods were made possible thanks to our financial support and publicity.
We encourage postdoctoral researchers who are within five years of their doctoral graduation, and who have authored or co-authored a research paper published (or accepted for publication) at eLife, to apply.
Applicants who have had an abstract of high scientific merit already accepted for presentation at their chosen meeting will be treated with priority. For more details, please read the terms and conditions of the travel grants programme.
We especially welcome applications from researchers requiring international travel to their meeting of choice.
The application deadline is Monday, July 4, 2016. Decisions will be made by a committee of eLife editors and early-career advisers, and will be announced in the week commencing July 25. We regret to note that we won’t be able to consider applications for grants related to events that take place before July 29, 2016.
To capture the professional development outcomes of the programme, eLife asks grant recipients to provide feedback about their learning experiences at their events.
The applications are now closed.
