The Program believes that participation in scientific meetings and conferences is an important experience for graduate students and encourages all students to submit work for presentation at national meetings.  To aid in this activity, BME doctoral students can apply to the Program for travel support after their first year.  The intent of the Program is that BME students are able to attend one national meeting per year.  Students applying for travel funds are expected to have submitted an abstract/paper to the meeting/conference as the presenting author.  Students are also expected to be in good standing with the Program and progressing towards their degree along the appropriate timeline.  Travel Request Application Forms are available in the BME Program Office, and also online through the BME website.

The program encourages all students to also apply for travel awards from sources outside the Program.  One such possibility is the Graduate and Professional Student Travel Grant Fund - Contact the Graduate College at 621-9091 to receive copies of the application forms and attachments.
