Eligibility:

To be eligible, trainees must be a student, post-doctoral fellow, or non-academic staff at a Canadian academic institution. Trainees must be applying to attend a course, workshop or scientific meeting in the field of crystallography or a related discipline as defined by the IUCr. Trainees attending a crystallographically-focused conference or scientific meeting must plan to present their own original work in crystallography or a related discipline, in the form of a poster or talk. This presentation requirement may be waived for courses or workshops where the primary focus will be crystallography education.

Funding Amounts:

The maximum award amount will be up to $1500 CAD for travel to IUCr Congresses, and up to $750 CAD for all other events. In order to support the highest number of eligible trainees, maximum award amounts are only exceptionally granted. It is unlikely that full event expenses will be covered and trainees should seek additional sources of support. Applications will be evaluated by members of the CNC/IUCr.

Timelines:

Applications will be evaluated by members of the CNCC twice a year. Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible to allow time for their referees to prepare reference letters. Only complete applications received before the expiration of the deadlines will be considered.
