Annually, the Centre for Blood Research offers five travel awards to Postdoctoral Fellows and Research Associates to help make travel to conferences and academic events more feasible. Any Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Associate may apply, provided they have not received an award in the last year. Each award offers $1,000 to supplement other funding sources. Throughout past years, recipients have attended and presented research at a wide variety of conferences and events in far-reaching corners of the country and the world. Upon their return, awardees write short reports on the conferences they attended and their experiences, which are posted on the CBR website.
