The Postdoctoral Scholar Travel Assistance program is designed to enable postdocs to attend professional conferences to present their research. This funding opportunity will partially offset the expense associated with registration and travel to present your research at local, national or international conferences. You must be a current USC Postdoctoral Scholar to be eligible for this funding opportunity. This program is intended to assist postdoctoral scholars whose attendance at a professional meeting or conference will enhance their professional development. Preference will be given to Postdocs who are 1) chosen to present their research and 2) funding their own travel. All postdoctoral scholars are eligible to apply but may only receive support once per year. The support offered through this program is $500 per scholar and funding is limited.
