Learning Science by Travelling the World: 2019-2020 CBR Travel Awards

Over the past five years, the Travel Awards provided by the Centre for Blood Research (CBR) have been supporting the ongoing professional development of Postdoctoral Fellows (PDF) and Research Associates (RA). This year, CBR is delighted to expand this funding opportunity to graduate trainees. Up to $1,000 is awarded for PDFs and RAs, while up to $500 is awarded for graduate students.  Year-round, the recipients will attend and present at various vibrant conferences across the globe. With memorable stories to tell upon their return, award recipients compose a short reflection summary detailing their educational experience. These summaries are then published on the CBR website.

Congratulations to the 2019-2020 Travel Award recipients!
