Support for Undergraduate Participation

Deadline for application: (coming soon)

The Society for Developmental Biology is providing financial assistance to encourage undergraduate attendance at the meeting. Principle Investigators (PIs) who pay the registration fee for an undergraduate to attend the meeting can request a refund of the paid registration fee. One PI may apply for a refund for one undergraduate student. Refunds will initially be given to only one PI at an institution until the allocated funds are depleted. If funds are available after awarding refunds to one PI per institution a second PI from an institution will be eligible for a refund, with preference given to PIs from primarily undergraduate institutions.
