Travel award details
The Molecular Parasitology Meeting is the premier conference for presenting advances in fundamental parasitology and related fields. The next MPM will be held September 17-21, 2023 at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA.
Through donations from MPM attendees, journals, foundations and other generous individuals and institutions, we will again be able to offer a limited number of travel awards to students and postdocs from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Travel Awards will cover full registration and accommodation (room and board) at the meeting. Depending on the availability of additional funds, we may also be able to provide limited support to cover the cost of air travel to the meeting. Awardees will be notified of this possibility by May 2023.
To help overseas attendees navigate the possible lengthy visa process, we have instated an application process with a firm deadline of March 06, 2023.
Applications must include:
Abstract for your presentation
A current Curriculum vitae (CV)
A statement of why you wish to attend MPM
A single letter of reference
