Clinical Virology Symposium (CVS) Travel Awards - Dr. Edwin Lennette Travel Award Grant

The Clinical Virology Symposium (CVS) Travel Awards, specifically the Dr. Edwin Lennette Travel Award, provides $1,500 to support travel costs for attendees. These awards are aimed at students, postdoctoral fellows, and technologists who have submitted abstracts for the 2024 symposium. Awardees are selected based on the scientific merit of their submissions, and the funding is contingent upon confirmation of attendance at the meeting.

Funding from these awards is meant only to defray costs for the meeting, meaning abstract submitters may need to obtain additional funding from other sources outside of ASM. Please also note that travel award funds will not be dispersed to awardees until after the meeting pending confirmation of awardee attendance.
Edwin Lennette, M.D., Ph.D., widely regarded as the "godfather of Clinical Virology," served as the director of the California State Virology Laboratory. He made significant contributions to the field, penning the inaugural major text on diagnostic virology, which remains a foundational resource in the discipline.
