Other Funding Sources
FASEB MARC Travel Awards: Available to attend the SACNAS conference.
The FASEB MARC Program provides funding for travel awards to support the participation of faculty/mentors, students,
post baccalaureates, and poster/platform (oral) presenters at the SACNAS conference. These awards help to defray meeting
registration and travel-related expenses (e.g., lodging, transportation, per diem) for eligible underrepresented minority
students, post baccalaureates, junior faculty, and mentors/faculty scientists in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.
(Please refer to the actual applications for the travel award amount).
FASEB MARC travel awards are processed as reimbursements to the award recipients. An award recipient will be required to
pay his/her meeting and travel-related expenses first and then request reimbursement from the FASEB MARC Program Office
after completion of the meeting/conference.
To apply or for more information on the details of FASEB MARC travel support, see: FASEB MARC Travel Awards.
