Description
The Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society (OTS) Regional Delivery Grant supports new and established regional meetings and conferences for oligonucleotide researchers. The program funds meeting production rather than individual research projects, helping researchers share knowledge, build regional connections, and access networking and professional development opportunities. Regional outreach guidance emphasizes multi-day meetings that include students and junior researchers and help build oligonucleotide research communities around the world.
Alongside financial support, recipients receive a listing on the OTS events calendar and assistance from an OTS mentor. OTS can support outreach, speaker recruitment, and fundraising, including help from its Board of Directors in recruiting oligonucleotide experts. Organizers must maintain their own infrastructure for planning and managing the event.
