From ASV

ASV Members with current full-member status are invited to submit or sponsor scientific abstracts for workshop and poster sessions at the annual meeting. Non-Members, Associate Members, Graduate and Undergraduate Student Members may submit an abstract to the annual meeting ONLY if a current full-member of ASV sponsors the abstract.
Abstract Deadline: January 31, 2020 at 11:59pm EST

In an effort to remove barriers to attending the annual ASV meeting, ASV offers need-based fellowship assistance to support child/dependent care. The ASVCares fellowship is intended to offset additional childcare/dependent care costs associated with conference attendance, rather than routine childcare/dependent care costs that would typically be paid for normal work hours. Applicants must be a member of ASV and have one or more dependents under 18 years of age or a special-needs dependent. Application for an ASVCares fellowship must be submitted online to ASV by April 17, 2020 through the ASV Member portal and includes a statement of need for support and a budget justification.
Deadline: April 17, 2020

The ASV is invested in the success of our trainees, and one way we demonstrate this is through our travel awards program. For the 2019 meeting, the ASV donated $145,000 for 258 travel awards to students, postdoctoral associates, teachers, and global scholars. The application details for the following three programs are described below. More information on travel awards.

• Global Virology Scholar Travel Award – deadline January 13, 2020

• Student and Postdoc Travel Award – deadline February 3, 2020

• Undergraduate Teacher Travel Award – deadline February 3, 2020

ASV is committed to having the annual meeting accessible to all interested virologists.
