WV-INBRE announces the availability of travel awards to faculty and students at the Partner Institutions (primarily undergraduate institutions, PUIs). Funds must be used for travel to biomedical research meetings or workshops. A maximum of $1,500 per travel award is allowed. Funds are to be used for travel expenses, lodging, meals, registration, and other justifiable travel expenses. The highest priority will be given to faculty members and students who will be presenting biomedical research they have conducted during the WV-INBRE summer research program or at their home institutions. Students may be supported to attend meetings with their summer or institutional mentor. Travel to meetings by PUI faculty and students who will not be presenting research but anticipate that attendance will enhance their educational or professional development or is beneficial to the WV-INBRE program will be considered. No funds can be spent to support the summer mentors’ travel. The travel must be completed by July 30, 2020. Applications may be submitted any time prior to July 1, 2020.
