Funding Information
GIW ISCB-Asia 2025 leadership is pleased to offer conference fellowships to ISCB members who are early career researchers (>10yrs post degree), postdoctoral fellows, or students. Conference fellowships are limited and we regret that we are not able to fund all applicants. The conference organizers are committed to providing support to as many eligible applicants as possible. Conference fellowship consideration is based on the criteria listed below.
Application Overview
- Applicant MUST BE a member of ISCB to be eligible for funding.
- Early career must be within 10 years post-degree
- All applicants must attend all conference days and secure additional funding from other sources in order to be able to cover the full costs of attending the conference.
- The deadline to submit a fellowship application is October 1, 2025 (End of Day, Anywhere on Earth) *no extensions*
Maximum Award Amounts
ISCB Fellowship award amounts will depend on the source of funding. Some sources will provide the exact amount of registration. For others, the amount will be a maximum of $500 USD, plus the cost of registration. Please note that funded applicants will only be able to cover approximately 50% of the expense of travel with these fellowship amounts. Thus all applicants must seek and secure additional funding sources (e.g., from your home institution/university, or grant funding) and a letter regarding this additional funding is required in PDF format as part of your application.
