The CRBLM encourages student members to present their scientific results at international conferences. International presentations are an enriching part of the graduate student training experience. Our aim is to facilitate the sharing and acquisition of new knowledge, networking, and the fostering of scientific collaboration.
Conference and travel fees up to $700 can be covered, and applications will be reviewed after the deadline (see below for dates). Note that the student is responsible for complying with all applicable regulations (institutional and governmental) related to travel.
To apply, please complete the application for in-person conference travel award.
Eligibility
- CRBLM Graduate Student Members (supervised by one or more CRBLM regular members) at the Master’s and Doctorate level--note that Postdocs are not eligible
- Applicant must be first author and presenter
- Conference cannot take place in the same city as where the student is studying (award is meant to support travel, not local conferences)

Round 2 – For conferences falling between September 1st and December 31. Deadline for application: August 31.
Round 3 – For conferences falling between January 1st and April 30. Deadline for application: December 31.

Amount
The award will be issued as a reimbursement of up to $700 for allowable travel expenses related to the conference, i.e., travel, hotel, registration and meals (exclusive of alcohol). Upon their return from the conference, recipients are asked to contact the administrator at info [at] crblm.ca to provide the necessary paperwork to process the award. Recipients will be asked to submit their original travel receipts, a copy of their conference presentation showing CRBLM’s affiliation, and a copy of the conference program.
Applicants may have complementary funding but are not permitted to accept the award if the total funds received (from all sources) exceeds the expenses of the conference travel. In other words, students may not gain personal funds as a result of the award.
Please include your affiliation with CRBLM on your poster or presentation and use the CRBLM logo.
