The Society for Mathematical Biology provides need-based travel awards to help society members attend its Annual Meeting. The program recognizes excellence in mathematical biology and promotes greater interaction among mathematical biologists throughout the world. It provides partial support for meeting travel rather than direct funding for a research project.
The award supports participation in the meeting’s scientific activities, including paper and poster presentations. Award distribution takes account of the society’s distribution and demographics, the availability of other SMB travel awards, and applicants’ travel costs. Recipients customarily contribute to the meeting through poster judging at the Annual Meeting poster session or other volunteering when needed.
