ADS:

Travel Grants
A number of Travel Grants will be awarded to junior investigators who have an abstract accepted for presentation at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the ADS in September 2010 in Sydney.  The number and size of grants will be determined according to the number and suitability of applications and the funds available.  Applications will be prioritised using abstract review scores.  It is anticipated that the awards will represent a substantial contribution to the individual's travel costs to the meeting. 

Application should be made in writing to the Honorary Treasurer, Australian Diabetes Society, 145 Macquarie Street, Sydney  NSW  2000 by Friday 18th June 2010.  The successful applicants will be advised in writing about one month prior to the meeting.  Eligibility is as follows:

1.   A financial member of the ADS for 12 months at the time of application
2.   In training for a higher degree eg. PhD, MD, fellowship or medical specialty.
3.   Supported by a statement from the candidate's supervisor or department head indicating the nature of their present position and the availability of other sources of financial support for their travel to the Meeting.

Note:  Applicants must not be in receipt of a travel grant from any other body to attend the ADS meeting or a meeting in association with the ADS meeting.
