Description
The Crustacean Society Early-Career/Post-PhD Travel Awards provide funding to support early-career researchers (Ph.D. awarded within the last 5 years, or up to 8 years with an approved career break) in any field of crustacean biology. The award enables recipients to present their research at major TCS-associated meetings, including the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB), the TCS Mid-Year meeting, or the International Crustacean Congress (ICC). Preference is given to applicants whose work is likely to lead to a manuscript suitable for publication in the Journal of Crustacean Biology. The program aims to foster international collaboration, research dissemination, and professional development in carcinology.
