AWARDS AND PRIZES

Student Bursaries

An amount up to $300 per student will be available to support students of the Australian Society for Biophysics who attend the annual conference and present a paper, and who reside outside the city in which the conference is being held. The ASB Executive will determine the amount provided to a student based on the budget provided, abstract and application quality, and in line with ensuring awardee diversity. Awarded funds must be transferred to whomever paid for budget items, whether that is the supervisor or student’s personal funds, or university accounts. Evidence of payment (e.g. credit card receipt or similar) may be requested.

This travel support is intended to encourage students to attend the annual meetings of the Australian Society for Biophysics; it will emphasise the importance of students giving presentations about their work; and it will provide students with a small example of ways of obtaining funding to support their research efforts.

Eligibility and Conditions
