We are pleased to provide current ISB members with a travel fellowship opportunity. Students, junior curators, curators from low-income countries, and curators from countries suffering from natural disasters are encouraged to apply. Selections will be prioritized by financial need.

**Please note that applying for a fellowship does not guarantee that you will receive funding.

Awards

Each award will be issued as reimbursement for up to CHF $1,000 per fellowship depending on the costs of your registration and travel (e.g. hotel, flight, and ground transportation).

• ISB Travel Fellows must be able to cover their own conference registration fees and travel cost before attending the conference. ISB Travel Fellows will then submit receipts to request a reimbursement from ISB. Save your receipts!
• The Biocuration Travel Fellowships Committee will advise you on how to receive these funds as reimbursement at the end of the conference.

Requirements and Procedures

Each applicant for a travel fellowship must satisfy the following conditions:

• The applicant must be an active ISB member

• The applicant must submit an accompanying letter explaining why s/he is requesting travel funds and how s/he envisions that attending the Biocuration Conference will benefit her/his career.
