Travel Awards for CISTM Presenters
In honor of her many years of selfless volunteer service to ISTM, the Board of Directors renamed the ‘Travel Awards’ to the ‘Susan L. Stokes Travel Awards’. Susan was instrumental in the conception and early years of ISTM, working ceaselessly to ensure that the Society would be strong and operationally sound. A limited number of travel awards are presented to individuals working in the field of travel medicine who are in developing countries wishing to present research or a clinical abstract at the biennial meeting of ISTM. These awards were established to make it possible for those who otherwise would not have the funding to attend. Those wishing to read more about Susan can click here.
Awardees will be selected from among individuals who have submitted CISTM abstracts through the usual process by the normal CISTM deadline date. Applicants must also complete and submit the Travel Award Application by the deadline date indicated on the form. Selection of the awardees will be made by a group of five members of the ISTM Research and Awards Committee prior to each meeting. The travel awards will be based on the strength and relevance of the abstract and financial need. The award amount will be determined by the need for travel to attend the CISTM.
