Clinical Virology Symposium (CVS) Travel Awards - Dr. Marilyn A. Menegus Travel Award Grant

The Clinical Virology Symposium (CVS) Travel Awards, specifically the Dr. Marilyn A. Menegus Travel Award, offers $1,000 to support postdoctoral fellows presenting their work at the 2024 ASM CVS. Awardees, selected based on abstract quality, will enhance their presentation skills through a 10-minute talk. This award honors Dr. Menegus, a leader in clinical virology, recognized for her significant contributions and mentorship in the field.

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.
