grants
Occasionally we offer travel awards to assist outstanding
students or early career researchers resident in the Australasian region who
are interested in attending regional or international meetings but need
financial support. A condition of the award is the requirement to present a
talk at the meeting of interest. The value of these awards varies and depends on the conference
and the number of awards on offer. In 2011 the International Biometric Society Australasian Region
will be offering up to two awards to students who intend to present their
research at the Biometrics by the Blowholes regional conference in Kiama, NSW, in December 2011. Similarly, the region offered a travel award of up to AUD$3000
to assist a student member of the society or an early career regular member
who intended to present a talk or poster at the International Biometric
Conference (IBC) in Florianopolis, Brazil, in December 2010. Details were in IBC 2010 travel grant.doc and
the closing date for applications was Friday 14 May 2010. Keep an eye out for
a similar award for the following international conference in Kobe, Japan, in
2012. Other
