Conference Reporter Bursaries

Deadline has passed

• Applicants should have been a member of the BSMB for at least 6 calendar months prior to the opening of the meeting (ie joined BSMB on or before the 14th December 2008)
• Any member of the BSMB may apply for this type of bursary, although preference will be given to non-tenured scientists at early stages of their career (ie PhD students and less than 6 years post-doc)
• Applicants must participate (ideally together with 2 other bursary recipients) in producing the written report of the conference for posting on the BSMB website and publication in the International Journal of Experimental Pathology

Applications will only be considered if they are submitted on a current BSMB Bursary application form (BSMB meetings).

The application should be accompanied by a one page curriculum vitae.  Applicants may use the enclosed pro-forma CV .

The ‘Support statement’ should be limited to a statement from your supervisor (if appropriate) that he/she is willing for you to attend the meeting and subsequently prepare a written report.  Applications should be sent to Ann Canfield, the committee member responsible for Bursaries and not to the meeting organiser.

The deadline for receipt of bursary applications will be 2nd March. The applications will be reviewed rapidly by the Committee and applicants will be informed of the outcome on or soon after the 20th March, in advance of the early-bird meeting registration deadline (27th March). Bursaries will be paid by the Society Treasurer once the report of the meeting has been received.
