HQP Travel Support for CAIMS 2023

CAIMS is offering travel support for HQP (graduate students and postdoctoral research associates) attending the CAIMS 2023 Annual Meeting in-person, to help defray the costs of attendance at the conference. These funds have been made available, in part, through the generosity of our past prize winners, Anita T. Layton, Nilima Nigam and Frithjof Lutscher, who requested that their prize money be used to support HQP travel. We are most grateful to Professors Layton, Nigam, and Lutscher for their generosity!

The application process is first-come, first-served. Support will be awarded to complete, qualifying applications until the allotted funds are exhausted.
