Travel Awards

What is the Bond & Bradley Postdoc Travel Award?

In an effort to facilitate and promote the intellectual and professional development of postdocs at Penn State College of Medicine and Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, the Bond & Bradley Postdoc Travel Award is awarded to qualifying postdocs to contribute to travel expenses for active conference participation in the US and abroad.

These travel awards are made possible by a generous donation from Drs. Judith S. Bond and S. Gaylen Bradley to Postdoctoral Society at Penn State College of Medicine. The endowment created by this donation will provide, in perpetuity, the financial support for these awards. The Postdoctoral Society sincerely acknowledges the kind support from Drs. Judith S. Bond and S. Gaylen Bradley. Each award will be in the amount of $300 and will be offered four times per calendar year.

Eligibility

All postdocs may apply for this travel award. Active participation (presenting an oral talk or poster, chairing a session or panel, etc.) at an academic conference is required, and proof of acceptance is required with this application. Postdocs may apply for this award up to one award cycle before participating in the conference event, or during the cycle of participation. Only one application per conference event/presentation is permitted. Postdocs may apply for this award as many times as they like during their postdoc career at Penn State College of Medicine/Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, but may only receive the award once.

Applicants for the Bond & Bradley Postdoc Travel Award are judged by a selection committee that will consist of, at minimum, three faculty members and a previous Bond & Bradley Postdoc Travel Award winner. If the applicant is selected to receive an award, the awardee must agree to serve on the selection committee during the next two cycles of awards.
