NEW FOR 2024!
To facilitate participation by students and postdocs, CANMRDG is now providing a limited number of $500 awards to assist with travel expenses. Giving a talk or presenting a poster is required. Selection criteria include both scientific impact and travel-related financial need (e.g., distance and access to transportation).
​
Local participants, who will not be incurring travel expenses, are ineligible for this award, but remain eligible for non-travel awards.
DEADLINE: September 3 end-of-day
​
