The Neuroscience Program provides travel funds to 1st-year students to assist with the cost of attending the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) annual meeting or one meeting of the student's choice in the first year. The annual travel allowance amount may vary from year to year and is based on the program's budget. Any expenses exceeding the travel allowance limit are the student’s responsibility.
This allowance may be used for anything related to attending a scientific conference. Expenses such as airfare, registration, lodging, food, etc., are covered by this allowance. Non-reimbursable expenses include airfare upgrades, alcohol, and personal items such as clothing.
These funds must be spent, and reimbursement requests must be submitted, by June 30, the last day of the fiscal year. After that, the funds are no longer available to the student, as the program will be in a new fiscal year (the program budget does not carry over from year to year).
