Attendance at our symposia presents a valuable opportunity for early-career protein scientists. The Protein Society is committed to supporting the participation of junior scientists from diverse backgrounds and individuals who work to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our field. Our newly introduced Diversity Awards include $1,000 in reimbursed travel costs for international attendees (outside of Canada, Mexico, and USA) and up to $500 in reimbursed travel costs for domestic (Canada, Mexico, and USA) attendees as well as 2 years of society membership.
Eligibility: Undergraduate students, postbaccalaureate students/research assistants, graduate students, and postdocs from any institution; junior faculty from minority-serving institutions. Membership required but reimbursed for awards recipients.

IMPORTANT: All travel awards are contingent on recipients attending and presenting their poster at the meeting.
Eligible expenses include: round-trip economy class airfare, train, or bus fare to and from symposium, symposium registration fee, abstract submission fee, taxi fare, up to 4 nights hotel accommodations (no incidentals or in-room charges), parking, or gasoline. Charges that are not reimbursable include but are not limited to: food, membership dues, or incidentals.

Improved Reimbursement Policy
To meet the needs of our students, the Society will reimburse all travel award winners for their registration and abstract submission fees shortly after confirmation of acceptance of award. Those not already registered will receive a complimentary registration code. The remaining balance of the travel award can be applied towards housing costs if the recipients are staying at the host hotel. Travel award winners should book accommodations using the TPS room block links on our website, using their own form of payment, and the balance of the travel award (travel award amount minus registration and abstract submission fee) will be deducted from the hotel room night and tax bill, prior to check-out.
IMPORTANT: For recipients of the travel awards to receive the credit prior to check-out they must book accommodations using the TPS room block links (found on other symposium-related pages). Travel awards can not be used for incidentals or other charges – only towards the room nightly rate and applicable fees.
Travel award winners who are not staying at the host hotel, or who would like to use funds for other eligible expenses – can submit for reimbursement following the completion of the symposium.
