  • Eligibility

    We welcome researchers to participate in international conferences. Researchers studying rare species, excluding humans, rats, and mice, are eligible to apply for a grant covering travel and accommodation expenses for attending these events. Each person can only apply for one travel grant at a time.

  • Time arrangement

    We will send an email to announce the commencement of each event every quarter. Applicants may apply for all meetings taking place within three months after receiving the email. After the meeting ends, participants need to fill out the application form on the webpage and attach proof of attendance, such as the airline (train) ticket and hotel receipt. Additionally, this information must be submitted at least one week before the current travel grant program ends. All applications received within each three months will be reviewed and processed at the end of that quarter. A confirmation email will be sent to the provided email address thereafter.

  • Amount

  • Applicants may request a grant of up to $300.

Application

      • 1. The travel grant is open to researchers aged over 21, studying rare (or non-traditional) model organisms, excluding humans, rats, and mice). It does NOT accept applications from employees (or consultants) of Boster Bio, their immediate families, agents, or any third parties associated with the administration of the grant.

    • 2. Applicants must complete the registration process and fill out an application form, including basic information and a brief introduction to their research and attach proof of attendance, such as the airline (train) ticket and hotel receipt. Applicants can adjust the table size if necessary or attach additional materials, but the table content must remain unchanged.
