The American Peptide Society offers a limited number of travel awards for the 30th American Peptide Symposium. The Travel Award Committee's purpose is to offset housing costs so that young investigators can attend the Symposium, meet the leaders in the field, and present their research.
Applications are due February 15, 2027.
Awardees will be notified by March 15, 2027, with instructions for arranging accommodation to follow.
