Special consideration will be given to those scientists who have the longest distance to travel and awards will be higher to cover the cost to attend the meeting.
Important dates to note:
- June 28, 2024, is the last day to submit abstracts and travel grants and the deadline is 3 p.m. EDT.
- Late July is when presentation and travel grant recipients will be notified.
