Resource-Limited Country Travel Awards
Resource-Limited Country Travel Awards help defray the costs of ASHG Annual Meeting participation for up to 10 individuals residing in resource-limited countries categorized by the World Bank as having low income or lower middle-income economies (see the list of eligible countries).
The ASHG Program Committee will select award recipients based on the quality of submitted abstracts. Award recipients receive:
- Support for meeting-related travel expenses (more details coming soon).
- Complimentary meeting registration.
- A complimentary ticket to the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Luncheon.
- A complimentary ticket to the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Reception.
- Complimentary one-year ASHG membership.
Priority is given to those applicants who have not received a resource-limited award in the previous year. Recipients will be notified in mid-July. We encourage authors to apply for your visa upon submission of abstract. A listing of this year’s recipients will be available in September.
