Department Travel Money

Cell Biology students in years 4 and beyond (including MD/PhD students) are eligible for $300 each year in travel money from the department to help defray the cost of attending a scientific meeting. Priority will be given to students who are presenting a talk or poster, but students who are not presenting may still qualify assuming they can provide a good justification for attending a particular meeting and assuming funds are still available. Students should contact the DGS to apply for the travel money. After the meeting, students receiving departmental travel money are required to provide to the DGS a short 1-paragraph summary of what they got out of the meeting.

Students in years 1-3 supported by training grants and university fellowships are eligible to receive comparable travel money from those sources. They should contact Naomi DiGioia, the Cell Biology registrar, about requesting this money.
