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 schedule a meeting. 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.
