Due Dates: October 31, 2026 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Contribution toward conference or laboratory-visit travel expenses
Summary: Recognises outstanding early- and mid-career research in biochemistry or molecular biology through support for conference and laboratory travel.
Key Information: Applicants need at least two years of ASBMB membership and no more than 10 years of postdoctoral experience, accounting for career disruptions.
Description
The Eppendorf Edman EMCR Award is run by the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) to recognise outstanding research by early- and mid-career members. It combines recognition of research achievement with support for scientific travel, rather than funding a specified research topic.
The award assists the recipient to attend an overseas conference in a field associated with biochemistry or molecular biology, or make a brief visit to a research laboratory in Australia or elsewhere. Laboratory visits can enable access to specialised equipment or training in new research techniques. Eppendorf South Pacific provides the contribution toward travel expenses, and the recipient gives a talk at the ASBMB annual scientific meeting.
