Description:

The MRC/SOT invites applications for the Undergraduate / Graduate / Postdoc Travel Award to assist in defraying the costs of attending the 2026 SOT Annual Meeting. The number of awards will be decided based on the funds available.

The applicant must be affiliated with an institution in the Midwest Region (Wisconsin or Illinois; as defined by SOT). Membership in the MRC/SOT or in SOT is not required for candidacy.

The application consists of your submitted/accepted SOT Annual Meeting abstract and a letter from the student’s research advisor/sponsor. The same research project may be submitted for the Undergraduate/Graduate/Postdoc Student Travel Award and Young Investigator Award; however, one individual will not be eligible to receive two awards for the same research in the same year. We do not accept submissions on similar projects for two years in a row. Proof of abstract acceptance by SOT will need to be confirmed (via email) prior to receiving the award.
