DMM Conference Travel Grants are aimed at early-career researchers wanting to attend scientific meetings, conferences, workshops and courses relating to the areas of research covered by the journal:http://dmm.biologists.org/content/aims

Each application will be judged on the excellence of the candidate and any work being presented in a talk or poster.

Funding

£400 within the home country and at £600 for meetings overseas.

Applicants will usually be PhD students and post-doctoral researchers at the beginning of their research careers, using the funding to support their travel.

We also welcome applications from independent group leaders and PIs with no independent funding, seeking support to attend meetings, conferences, workshops, courses, PI laboratory management courses and courses to re-train.
