HUGO Offers Travel Awards

The international Human Genome Organization (HUGO) has announced that new travel awards up to $1500 are available to researchers, generally those who are under the age of 40 and actively engaged in human genome research. These awards will cover travel costs for short-term laboratory visits by investigators wishing to transfer technology or conduct collaborative research. The program, which is not for travel to meetings, will run on a continuing basis as long as financial support is available.

Application Requirements

• Declaration by a HUGO member acting as supporting sponsor of the application.
• Work plan including reasons for the choice of host laboratory, which must be in a country other than the applicant's home country.
• Declaration by the host laboratory's head, who need not be a HUGO member, stating host's willingness to accept the applicant and furnish lodging. If the host laboratory cannot furnish lodging, a portion of the travel award may be available to cover modest lodging expenses (not living or research costs), the total not to exceed $1500.
• Applicant's curriculum vitae, including a publications list.
• Travel expense details.

The HUGO Travel Award Committee will consider applications in the order in which they are received, and applicants will be notified of the committee's decision within 2 weeks of receipt.
