Early Career Travel Awards

IFPA has a long tradition of career development for new investigators and encouraging new investigators to attend IFPA meetings to present their own work, hear the latest advances from experts in the field and to develop research connections. To that end IFPA provides a large number of new investigator travel awards from various sponsors (see below). These awards require that a new investigator be presenting an accepted abstract at the upcoming meeting. We are grateful to these sponsors for providing support. 

New investigators are defined as students or researchers in full-time training or researchers who are within three years of their senior degree (e.g. Ph.D., M.D.). The awards are based on a review of abstracts submitted for an IFPA-designated meeting. Candidates should indicate they wish their abstract to be considered at the time of submission.

New investigators should determine their eligibility (see below) and apply for these awards when submitting their abstracts. A Verification of New Investigator Status Form will also need to be submitted with the abstract, if it was not submitted with registration.
