Travel Awards
The Center for Neurobehavioral Development offers travel awards to graduate
student members presenting at national and international scientific conferences.
Applications for travel awards from the Center for Neurobehavioral Development (CNBD) will be accepted biannually. Applicants may be awarded up to $500 based on review of scientific merit, conference being attended, and the number of applicants per cycle. Only graduate student members and medical fellows holding Postdoctoral membership in the CNBD are eligible to apply for this award, and students are limited to one travel award per academic year. Priority will be given to active graduate student members of the CNBD.
To apply for a CNBD Travel award, please submit an application and
presentation abstract to CNBD Staff at
cnbd@umn.edu.
