Grants and Applications

The ANZSCDB has a strong program of support for local meetings and attendees. Please see the opportunities below. Application is made to the President.

Up to $1250 per annum is available to each Chapter to support local Cell & Developmental Biology Meetings.

ANZSCDB will advance $250/meeting to facilitate the organization of up to two chapter/local meetings per year. In addition, for one of these meetings we will provide an additional sum (to a maximum of $750) towards the expenses of an invited interstate speaker.
 
Who is eligible?
Applications are open to organizers of these meetings as long as they are/become members of ANZSCDB. Preference is given to financial members of the ANZSCDB. All supported meetings will have at least one Society member on the organizing committee.
 
How do I apply?
Applications consist of a letter detailing the meeting title, location, proposed date and speakers. A meeting flyer with the ANZSCDB logo and details of the meeting is to be provided to the Society for distribution by the local organizers as well as the Society via its email network and website.  Applicants should also indicate in their application other likely sources of financial assistance that would ensure the success of the meeting.

Applications can be forwarded at any time to the President and should be submitted well in advance of the proposed meeting.

What does your Society require of you?
ANZSCDB requires acknowledgement in all promotional material for the meeting and at the meeting (e.g. in flyer announcing meeting, brochure at meeting, slide at meeting, on website). Request logo here.
