Trainee Travel Award Program

This resource is available to BCBC Members.

In order to further the scientific goals of the BCBC, it is often necessary for laboratories to send trainees/trainers to other laboratories to learn/teach new scientific techniques and technologies. To facilitate the sharing of knowledge and the spirit of collaboration, the BCBC CC will support the travel of trainees/trainers between BCBC laboratories by awarding short term training travel awards. In general, the training taking place should directly benefit BCBC funded projects, complement existing research activities, and provide knowledge/techniques not available in the laboratory receiving the training.

Training Program

Training travel must be both focused and short-term in nature. Conferences, meetings, or broad training programs that are longer term in nature are not intended for this program. Training must benefit a current BCBC project.

Eligibility Requirements

Every trainee/trainer must be officially affiliated with a BCBC Investigator or Co-Investigator (BCBC I/C). The BCBC I/C will be responsible for ensuring that the trainee/trainer maintains the BCBC Confidentiality standards as laid out in the BCBC Policies and Guidelines. If training travel involves a non-BCBC entity, such as a company or non-BCBC laboratory, the BCBC I/C will also be expected to manage the relationship with the non-BCBC entity
