International Conference Travel Awards

The society offers three awards of up to $1000 each yearly to support conference registration, travel and accommodation to an endocrine-related international meeting.

These awards are open to all members of more than 2 years standing with preference given to applications from Emerging/Mid-Career Researchers and Endocrine Nurses.

To be eligible, the applicant must be a presenting author on a conference abstract describing research conducted at least in part at a New Zealand-based institution.

Applications must be made in advance to the NZSE secretary (contact@endocrinology.org.nz) and can be submitted to either of the two rounds with deadlines 1 March and 1 September each year.

Awards will be given at the discretion of the Executive council.

Once awarded an NZSE travel grant (either domestic or international), recipients will not be eligible to submit an application for another NZSE travel grant for a 12 month period.
