eLife increases support for early-career researchers in the new edition of its travel grants programme

Applications are invited from early-stage researchers on eLife papers for funding towards presenting their work at a meeting of their choice.

In 2016, the programme supported 10 early-career researchers, who attended scientific meetings to present and discuss their work with leading scientists in their fields. We received very positive feedback, as the majority of grantees achieved their goals for promoting their research and setting up new collaborations at the meetings they attended with eLife’s support.

We encourage postdoctoral and independent scientists with up to five years of active research experience, and who have authored or co-authored a research paper published (or accepted for publication) at eLife, to apply online with our simple application form. Please review the updated terms and conditions before applying.

Applicants who have had an abstract of high scientific merit already accepted for presentation at their chosen meeting will be treated with priority.

We especially welcome applications from researchers requiring international travel to their meeting of choice.
