CICMD Membership Benefits
Travel Awards
The CICMD provides travel awards for students and postdoctoral fellows presenting their research at scientific meetings. The CICMD will provide a maximum of $650 per award and anticipates supporting 6-8 awards per year. To be eligible, applicants must be a CICMD member and the lead author on the research that is to be presented. Applications for travel awards are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis.
Assistance with Research Related Costs
The CICMD will offer help to offset publications costs if there is an acknowledgment to the center. CICMD will also offer financial assistance to offset expenses that support access to data and computational resources as needed. Through a proposal, the division supports access to a variety of general datasets commonly employed in observational research. For more information contact us at: cicmd@cop.ufl.edu
CICMD Pilot Award
The purpose of these awards is to help support research by contributing CICMD members. For example, awards can be given to initiate a new collaboration, offset the cost of equipment, or generate data that supports manuscripts and grant applications. To apply, please submit a one-page proposal describing the need for funds. The proposal must also include a budget. These projects will be presented (and highlighted) at our annual showcase and on our website. We will distribute three awards of $10,000.00 per year.
