The Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN) provides travel awards to help undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers attend its annual meeting and present their research. These awards support meeting attendance rather than the conduct of research. Applications describe the project's results, its significance to behavioral neuroendocrinology, and the trainee's contribution to the work.
The program emphasizes clear financial need, including the availability of travel support from advisors, departments, and other sources. Its distribution goal is to support 35% of applicants in each training category—undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral. Review considers the quality and significance of the research, the applicant's intellectual involvement, financial need, and the faculty advisor's recommendation.
