NEW FOR 2024!

To facilitate participation by students and postdocs, CANMRDG is now providing a limited number of $500 awards to assist with travel expenses. Giving a talk or presenting a poster is required. Selection criteria include both scientific impact and travel-related financial need (e.g., distance and access to transportation).

​

Local participants, who will not be incurring travel expenses, are ineligible for this award, but remain eligible for non-travel awards.

DEADLINE: September 3 end-of-day

​

APPLICATION PROCESS

Required: You must register to attend the meeting with the "Registration with Abstract Submission" ticket.
