TRAVEL GRANTS
Eligibility:
The workshop organization is pleased to provide financial assistance to attendees to take part in this one and a half-day workshop, Comprehensive Management of Aging in HIV. The workshop participation grants available cover attendance, travel, and accommodation expenses provided by the own organization. Participants from America are encouraged to participate in the Buenos Aires edition, next year. Other locations’ participants will be prioritized.
Every grant application will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Scientific Committee that will evaluate all aspects thoroughly and ensure no application is subject to any type of discrimination. Each application will be assessed against selection criteria and priority will be given to those that have provided a detailed abstract on their scientific work and HCPs that play an active role in the development, implementation and investigation of managing age-related conditions in HIV patients.
There are a limited number of funds available to award grants and those will be awarded on a competitive basis to those who meet the following requirements.
