The Duke University Center for Host-Microbial Interactions (CHoMI) will award travel grants, worth $1000 each, to support students or post-doctoral fellows to attend national and international scientific meetings related to microbial pathogenesis and host responses. Travel grants will be awarded on the basis of the scientific quality of the submitted abstracts.
Preference is given to fellows/students who have not received a travel grant in the past two years, and the Selection Committee will strive to award only one travel grant per laboratory.
