Each year the CSMB offers several Research Student and Postdoctoral awards. Details of these awards are provided below. Results will be announced at our Annual Scientific Meeting, with consideration of poster and travel awards conducted at the conference.
CSMB Trainee Travel Awards
This bursary fund is designed to encourage student & postdoctoral fellow participation in the annual meeting, by assisting to defray the cost of attending these meetings at distant locations.
