Thank you to the FOCIS Centers of Excellence (FCEs) who nominated trainees to receive an FCE Travel Award to attend the 2019 Advanced Course in Basic and Clinical Immunology, March 3-6, 2019, in La Jolla, CA. The FCE Travel Award is intended to help trainees defray some of the cost of attending the course.
Travel Award recipients participating in the Advanced Course will be provided with reimbursement of registration and/or travel expenses, valued at $1,200 for each FCE (the travel award amount is split into two $600 awards if two fellows are nominated). A total of 25 travel awards is available, and are granted on a first come, first served basis. Any competitive selection process within the FCE is at the Director’s discretion.
