Travel Awards

Travel Awards

HTRS has increased the number of Travel Awards available in 2023 for medical trainees (residents and fellows), junior faculty, early-career investigators, minorities, and advanced practice providers. We encourage applications even if the meeting is held virtually. Awards will still be given for outstanding abstract submissions to a virtual meeting, and recipients will still be recognized during the meeting.

Abstract submitters interested in applying for a Travel Award must complete the corresponding sections of the submission form to be considered for an award.

More information on abstract submissions can be found on the Call for Abstracts page.
