New Investigator Travel Awards

Travel awards presented at the annual meeting to new investigators with an area of study and interest in imaging informatics, who are in a full-time training program, or who have completed their training program within 2 years of the SIIM Annual Meeting. Individuals must present the accepted scientific paper at the SIIM Annual Meeting.

To be eligible for a New Investigator Travel Award, applicant must be a student member of SIIM or affiliated with a SIIM institution member. Individuals must register for the annual meeting (using the complimentary SIIM student member registration category) by the early bird registration deadline to receive the travel award funding. The presenter must submit a full paper to the Journal of Digital Imaging prior to the Annual Meeting.

Travel Award Applications for SIIM 2011 are due in early September on the abstracts submission deadline.
