The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs will be sponsoring travel awards for postdocs to attend the National Postdoc Association’s Annual Conference.
The prerequisites for applying are as follows:
- You must be a member of the NPA. Membership is free and you can activate your affiliate membership here.
- You must commit to participate in a special conference report event co-organized by the PDA and the OPA. You will be asked to present on something you learned at the conference that can be implemented by you, the PDA, and/or the OPA.
Please note that the travel award will cover the cost per person to attend the meeting. This includes hotel, registration (rate for member postdocs), and per diem. We will be providing transportation options. For any questions, please contact us at osupostdocs@osu.edu.
