The purpose of this fund is to recognize young investigators (graduate students within the Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba) by providing an award to support travel costs associated with the applicant's attendance at a national/international conference where the applicant presents a poster or oral presentation.

Each student will receive $400 to be used towards a scientific conference where they will be responsible for a poster/oral presentation.
