Thanks to funding from bioMérieux, three travel grants (valued at $1,500 CAD each) will be awarded to trainees presenting exemplary research at the conference to assist with the cost of registration, airfare and hotel accommodation. Eligible applicants include undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical fellows who are named as the presenting author of an accepted abstract. Abstracts will be reviewed by peers, and selection will be based on research quality, with consideration given to geographical diversity. One awardee per region: Eastern, Central and Western Canada. Award recipients will be notified in late January 2026.

If you wish to apply for a travel award, please select "Yes" on the online abstract submission form.

To be eligible for a travel award you must have an accepted abstract and be a Canadian resident.
