JDRF
provides grants of up to $2,000 for domestic travel, and up to $4,000 for
international travel to early stage scientists, mid-career researchers and
allied health/nursing professionals. The awards are designed to provide funding
for travel to research institutions or scientific meetings, for the purpose of
furthering the recipient’s expertise in type 1 diabetes research or management.
Three
categories of Travel Grants are available:
Early
Stage Scientist Travel Grants for medical and science
graduates who are undertaking type 1 diabetes research, and researchers in the
early stage of their career (PhD students or not more than 5 years
post-doctoral as of the current Travel Grant round deadline).
Mid-Career
Researcher Travel Grants to support mid-career medical or
science researchers (more than five years post-doctoral as of the current
Travel Grant round deadline) excluding associate professors and above, with no
other access to travel funding. To be eligible to apply for a mid-career
researcher's Travel Grant, the applicant is required to obtain a letter from
their institution confirming that their institution does not provide travel
funding for mid-career researchers. A maximum of two mid-career researcher
Travel Grants are awarded per round.
Allied Health
and Nursing Travel Grants for allied health or nursing
professionals or students, enrolled in a post graduate research program, whose
research will impact on the lives of people with type 1 diabetes and their
carers and families.
