The highly prestigious I.J. Kopin Traveling Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis to cover the travel expenses of health scientist investigators in the early stages of their careers who show extraordinary potential for furthering research about catecholamines and catecholamine systems. The I.J. Kopin Traveling Fellowship awards are not restricted by age but are only available to investigators in the early stages of their careers.
Graduate students are also eligible to apply.
Coverage of Awards The I.J. Kopin Traveling Fellowship award covers the costs of round trip economy class travel between the recipient's place of work and Kyoto, Japan, the site of the Ninth International Catecholamine Symposium. The award may also be used to cover accommodations, registration, or other documented expenses that are directly related to travel to and attendance at the meeting. The exact amount of each award is based on the actual costs of travel as projected by the awardee and agreed upon in advance by the Foundation for Catecholamine Research. A letter of no more than 250 words outlining how travel to the meeting will further the applicant's research about catecholamines or catecholamine systems.
