Registration

ISBNPA, BioMed Central (BMC) and RIT Wegmans School of Health and Nutrition are pleased to be able to offer scholarships to 4 pre-selected ISBNPA 2019 attendees from low and low-middle income countries via a new initiative to provide funding for early (5 years post-PhD) and mid-career (5-15 years post-PhD) researchers.

This funding can be used to conduct formative or pilot research (or to complete an existing study), and present the study findings at the 2019 ISBNPA Annual Meeting in Prague.

The selected attendees will receive support for registration, travel and accommodation expenses.

No other form of support will be available at this time to support travel or stay for LMIC to attend the Prague meeting.

> Scholarship applications for Auckland 2020 are closed.

> Scholarships for Omaha 2021 will open in October 2019 (for more information, go to isbnpa.org)
