Description
The Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society (OTS) offers the Local Delivery Grant to support grassroots, collaborative scientific gatherings for researchers in oligonucleotide therapeutics and related topics. The program emphasizes networking, professional development, and activities benefiting junior scientists. Funding decisions consider the benefit of proposed activities to the oligonucleotide research community.
Supported formats include one-day local symposia, networking events with speakers or poster sessions, journal clubs, and seminar series. Other examples include workshops on scientific writing, CV development, and alternative careers for academic or industry researchers; Women in Science and other diversity-focused events; and discussion panels on preclinical research or clinical trials. OTS welcomes creative formats. The application guidance emphasizes new local gatherings rather than well-established or professionally managed meetings.
