ECR Travel Bursary Guidelines

Thank you to the travel bursary sponsors:

Early Career Researchers can apply for a bursary to support travel costs for attending the Cambridge Ion Channel Forum (CICF). See below.

Eligibility

• Be a current Early Career Researcher
• Be a registered attendee of the event 
• Submit abstract to present a poster at the CICF
• Apply by Friday 4th April 2025 at 3pm (GMT).

Criteria

Awards will be based on the number of eligible applications, with preference given to those who clearly demonstrate the benefits of attending the meeting.

How to apply

Early Career Researchers can apply for a travel bursary during the registration process. We will ask you to complete the registration form and provide a brief paragraph confirming where you are studying or working to verify your ECR status, as well as a short statement (max 100 words) explaining how attending the meeting will benefit you.

When will I know if my application has been successful?

We will make every effort to notify applicants by Monday 24th March, to give sufficient time to book transport at reasonable fares.

How much can I apply for?

Up to £150 per applicant.

What can I use this money for?

This bursary is intended to support attendees with travel costs, such as train or plane tickets. Unfortunately, the bursary cannot be used to cover the cost of the conference ticket. If you need help with funding the cost of the conference ticket, we encourage you to speak to your university department or employer. They often have funds available to support students/employees attending conferences that will help with your studies and/or career development. 

Payment

• If you are successful, we will provide you with the relevant information need to receive payment. Claims will need to be completed within four weeks of the closing date of the meeting, along with your receipts, the email confirming the bursary, and a certificate of attendance.

• We will only make payments to a bank account in the applicant’s name, unless otherwise agreed with the Finance Team.

Deadline

This bursary is open until Friday 4th April 2025 at 3pm (GMT).
