The Milstein Travel Awards

The Milstein Travel Awards give those who may not otherwise be able to attend the Annual Meeting of the International Society of Interferon and Cytokine Research (ISICR) an opportunity to come share and experience the most current interferon and cytokine knowledge with peers around from the world.

ISICR members who attend the Annual Meeting of the ISICR and submit a meeting abstract are eligible for Milstein Travel Awards,which are provided by a generous gift from the Milstein Family. Milstein Travel Awards are granted based on the scientific merit of the abstract and financial necessity. Receipt of a Milstein Travel Award does not exempt payment of the registration fee. Please note that there are no age restrictions to this award. However, if both senior and junior members from the same laboratory apply for an award, preference is given to the junior member. In 2011, travel awards were granted to 72 researchers from 19 countries.

Information about applications for 2012 (Geneva, Switzerland) will be available in early 2012.
