CGS Travel Grant
The UK Clinical Genetics Society (CGS) invites applications from its members for Travel Awards. These are to encourage wider participation in its meetings and to support presentation of original research in clinical genetics and genomics nationally and internationally.
The CGS has funding available on a discretionary basis as follows:
- Up to three Travel Awards will be available annually to cover the costs of registration, travel and accommodation to attend CGS meetings in the UK or The Netherlands up to a maximum of £500, to individuals who are presenting original research in clinical genetics and genomics (oral presentation or poster).
- As part-funding for relevant non-CGS meetings, up to a maximum of £250 for European meetings and £500 for destinations outside Europe.
All awards are at the discretion of the CGS steering group. Priority will be given to CGS members in training who are presenting original research in clinical genetics and genomics (oral presentation or poster) at a relevant conference. Applications may also be considered from non-clinical members who do not have readily available sources of funding to attend CGS meetings.
Priority will be given to members who have not previously been awarded a grant, or who have not been awarded a grant in the last 3 years. Applicants must be a CGS member and should apply by email to the Treasurer at the address below. The application should include a brief CV, meeting details and the value of attendance, a copy of any abstract and evidence of acceptance, total funding requested, other sources of funding sought, and a letter of support from the head of department.
As a condition of acceptance, successful applicants will be expected to acknowledge the CGS in any presentations, posters or publications, and to write an article for the CGS website/newsletter.
