TRAVEL POLICY - Procedures for BioMed PhD Students:
The Division believes that presenting papers at professional conferences is important to PhD students' academic careers and growth as professionals. Pre-doctoral students who have been invited to present papers at academic conferences can apply for up to $500 to cover related travel expenses. Students will be reimbursed for only one conference per academic year; reimbursement will not be granted for merely attending a conference. In order to insure that the limited conference-travel funds are distributed as equitably as possible, only students in their second through fifth years of study are eligible for conference travel reimbursement; all students MUST APPLY for travel reimbursement to The Office for Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies at least one month prior to travel. See link below for the application form.
