Travel Grants

NIH-funded CBI trainees receive travel grants as part of their NIH traineeship. All other CBI Program Members in CBI labs are eligible to submit a CBI travel grant application anytime throughout the year. Travel grants (typically $200-400) are awarded on a competitive basis about twice a year (March and October). Progress in the CBI curriculum is an important criterion for choosing recipients. CBI Travel Grants are awarded one time during the students PhD career.

Travel Grants with March 8, 2019 deadline have been awarded. The next Call for CBI Travel Grant applications will be issued in October 2019.
