ISRB Conference Grant Application Process

Overview

The ISRB aims to support scientific conferences to facilitate broader participation in regenerative biology research.

Grant Details

Up to £2,000/$2,500/€2,500 will be awarded to specifically sponsor an ISRB speaker or session. For this speaker or session, a slide with the ISRB logo and QR code should be displayed before/between speakers, and the ISRB sponsorship of the speaker/session should be noted in the program. The selected speakers are not required to be ISRB members, although their work should involve some facet of regenerative biology.

• The applicant must be an ISRB member in good standing and an organizer of the conference. ISRB membership is not mandatory for the other co-organizers.

• Regenerative Biology must fit within the scientific scope of the conference.

• The conference dates must fall within one year of the grant application deadline.

• The goals of the conference must align with the ISRB mission.
