Travel Scholarships

Young investigators including trainees or junior faculty within three years of appointment may apply for a PancreasFest 2012 travel scholarship. Up to 15 scholarships in amounts of up to $900 will be awarded by the Collaborative Alliance for Pancreatic Education and Research (CAPER). Awards will be made to deserving young investigators to cover travel expenses and registration fees only, and honorees will receive an award letter on or before June 25. Additionally, the Dr. Edward Purich “Best Abstract” award will be announced at PancreasFest 2012 and includes a $250 award.

Award payment will be made payable to the recipient immediately after the conference, so the recipient will be required to pay for travel expenses up front. PancreasFest 2012 registration fees will be fee-waived for all scholarship recipients. As such, registration fees will be deducted from the scholarship award amount. Since these CAPER awards are intended to support travel costs, local scholarship awardees within a 25-mile radius of Pittsburgh will receive waived registration fee awards only. Please note that PancreasFest 2012 travel scholarships may not cover all meeting expenses in full.
