Funder: Association for Molecular Pathology
Due Dates (Anticipated): June 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Up to $1,500 in travel reimbursement, plus meeting registration and free post-meeting on-demand recordings
Summary: Supports AMP member technologists attending the Annual Meeting & Expo to expand their molecular diagnostics knowledge.
Key Information: Applicants must receive no institutional travel or registration support, confirmed by their lab director.
The Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) provides the Technologist Travel Award to help multiple selected member technologists attend its Annual Meeting & Expo. Supported in part by Asuragen, the award funds meeting participation rather than a separate research project. It combines travel reimbursement with meeting registration and access to on-demand recordings after the event.
The program focuses on technologists working in clinical molecular diagnostics who lack institutional support for attendance. Applicants explain their commitment, experience, and interest in molecular diagnostics, along with what they expect to learn at the meeting. The educational emphasis is on expanding their understanding of the field and applying that knowledge to their current work or future career development.
