JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE PATHOLOGY EDUCATIONAL TRUST
Travel Bursary Scheme for Junior Scientists Working the Field of Animal Pathology
The Journal of Comparative Pathology Educational Trust (JCPET)provides travel bursaries for junior scientists working in the field of animal pathology to enable them:
- To attend and present (a poster or oral presentation) at a scientific conference (for example, but not restricted to, the joint congress of the European Society of Veterinary Pathology and European College of Veterinary Pathologists). These bursaries are worth GBP 500.
- To make a short visit to another institution or laboratory for the purpose of learning a specific technique or skill not available in their own institution. These bursaries are worth up to GBP 3000.
Eligible junior scientists will be colleagues who are either:
- Currently undertaking training in anatomical pathology as part of a recognized residency programme at an accredited European institution
- Currently registered for a higher degree on a project related to animal pathology
- Early career postdoctoral research assistants working on a project related to animal pathology (eligible for inter-institutional visits only, not conference attendance bursaries)
Applications should be accompanied by a letter from the supervisor or institution to confirm training status.
In the case of attendance at a conference, applicants will be expected to submit (and have accepted) an abstract for poster or oral presentation to the Congress and a draft of this abstract must be submitted with the application. Successful applicants should not be in receipt of a bursary from an alternative source and are required to indicate whether such applications have been made.
Applications must be made on the form attached and submitted by e-mail (subject line: JCP Educational Trust Bursary Scheme)to Professor M. J. Day, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Comparative Pathology ().
Closing dates for applications will be 1stJune and 1st December each year. Applications for attendance at a conference should be made in advance of the activity (i.e. for attendance at a conference in September, application must be made by 1st June).
Applications will be considered by the Trustees and successful applicantswill be notified as soon as possible after the closing date.
In the case of a bursary being awarded for attendance at the ESVP-ECVP Congress, the bursary cheque will be presented to the successful applicant at the conclusion of the JCPET Plenary Lecture to be held at the Congress.
