Trainee Travel Awards

We are pleased to offer Travel Awards of $500 to support trainee attendance at the upcoming CCN-RCC 6th Annual Meeting.


These awards are intended to help offset some travel-related expenses and encourage trainee participation in research dissemination and professional development.


Submission of a scientific abstract automatically qualifies trainees for consideration for a Travel Award; no separate application is required. While both oral and poster presentations are highly valued components of the meeting, Travel Awards are limited to trainees providing oral presentations. Travel Award recipients will be notified in February 2026.


Meeting participation

The CCN-RCC Annual Meeting will be held in person at the MacEwan Conference & Event Centre, University of Calgary in Calgary, AB. All participants, including presenters, will be required to register for the Meeting.
