Apply for travel awards to the National Postdoctoral Association Conference

The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) is pleased to offer travel awards for postdoctoral scholars to attend the 20th NPA Annual Conference, which will be held at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, April 1—2, 2022. The awards will first cover registration and lodging, and then travel expenses up to the limit of the award. Travel award amounts will vary, but the maximum amount awarded will be $1,000. You may also apply for the childcare support award in addition to the travel award. If you receive both awards, the maximum amount awarded will be $1,000 total.

Awards will be competitively allocated and limited to one per institution. The number of awards granted will depend on the estimated cost of each applicant, and the amount of funds raised by the NPA.

Applications will be accepted through Wednesday, December 15, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. Visit the NPA travel awards application website for applying details.

If you plan on applying, please contact Program Manager, Wiley Larsen.
