Travel Grants

Available for SSBP Members to attend SSBP and other conferences

What our members and conference attendees have to say about the SSBP.

Attending the SSBP 21st conference in Melbourne was extremely interesting with a wide breadth of research focussing on rare genetic syndromes being discussed. I found it to be a welcoming place to present my research, and the questions and comments from the audience have helped me develop my ideas further.

 

I am grateful for the SSBP for awarding me the Les and Robbie Fountain bursary as without this support I would not have been able to attend the conference.
