To receive the one-time $2,000 travel award, MCB students must first email the program co-directors with the following details for approval to use the funds:
- Purpose of conference or meeting
- Conference or meeting focus
- Sponsoring organization
- Location of travel
- Date of travel
Once students have received co-director approval, they must complete the Travel Funds Release Form and email the completed form to Denise Barnes, along with the co-director approval.
While MCB/MSTP students do not receive the travel award, they, and all other graduate students, are eligible for the Graduate Student Conference Presentation Awards and the GPSS travel grants.
Travel Reimbursement Requirements
- Travel reimbursements can only be made to an individual student, and not to a third party (such as the student’s lab).
- Submit your completed Travel Reimbursement Form and supporting documentation to Denise Barnes within 30 days from the date the trip ends so that MCB can process in accordance with the UW Reimbursement Policy.
- Please review the UW Receipt Requirements to ensure you have the required receipts and proof of payment.
