The GPGG views attending scientific conferences\/meetings\/symposia as an essential component of\u00a0Ph.D. student training. Each year we reserve funds from the program budget to help defray the cost of attending meetings. Preferably, we would like you to identify a meeting and apply for an award prior to attending. \u00a0 If you are looking for reimbursement for a past meeting, you will need to demonstrate that the full cost for the meeting\u00a0was not\u00a0already covered by grant funds and\/or GMS contributions (e.g., the student had unmet out-of-pocket expenses directly related to attending the meeting).<\/p>\n
Please note that awards typically will not exceed $2,000 and a student may receive this travel support one time during Ph.D. program training.\u00a0<\/span>The number of awards that we can make is limited. Students can receive a travel award for no more than one meeting per calendar year.<\/span><\/p>\n Please download and complete the Request Form for GPGG Travel Funds<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Email your completed form to\u00a0<\/span>gpgg@bu.edu<\/a><\/p>\n The Division of Graduate Medical Sciences (GMS)<\/strong> offers a $250 award that students can apply to receive once throughout their educational studies. To find the application, please click here<\/a>!<\/p>\n The Genetics Society of America (GSA)<\/strong> administers two awards twice a year\u00a0for professional development.
