Travel Awards

The Center for Neurobehavioral Development offers travel awards to graduate student members presenting at national and international scientific conferences.

Applications are considered bi-annually to support travel to conferences or meetings held throughout the academic year.  CNBD graduate student membership is required for application.  Applicants may be awarded up to $500 based on review of scientific merit, conference being attended, and the number of applicants per cycle.

To apply for the CNBD travel awards for Fall/Winter 2009 conferences or meetings, please submit an abstract and specify which major conference you wish to attend by TBA.  Submissions can be given to Mike Schmidt in room 333, 717 Delaware Street Building of the CNBD during office hours.  Please contact Mike with any questions at 612-624-9693 or schm0216@umn.edu.
