Trainee Abstract Awards Application with the Online Abstract Submission – 16 March!
On behalf of the KAPOSI’S SARCOMA HERPESVIRUS (KSHV) AND RELATED AGENTS ASSOCIATION, we look forward to awarding a number of abstract award registration fee waivers for qualifying trainees (graduate students, postdocs and pre-doctoral study technicians working in academic or government labs). These awards will be dependent on the outcome of applications for funding that are still pending. Abstract award registration waivers will be distributed based on the ranking of the abstracts by the scientific advisory committee and will prioritize current graduate students, followed by other trainees. All graduate students, postdocs and pre-doctoral study technicians working in academic or government labs submitting an abstract wishing to apply for a Trainee Abstract Award must upload a pdf document from their advisor or institution verifying their training status at the time of abstract submission. ONLY submissions with the appropriate documentation included with the submission, will be considered for Trainee Abstract Awards.
Delegates who would like to present their work at the meeting as a poster or oral presentation, are invited to submit an abstract for consideration by the Local Organizing and Scientific Advisory Committees. Abstracts are accepted on a wide range of themes according to the abstract submission topics listed above.
