Travel Awards

Objective

ALF is pleased to offer a competitive travel award program for postdoctoral trainees to defray the costs of attending scientific conferences. The goal of this award is to foster career development by encouraging individuals with a demonstrated interest in liver-related research to attend scientific conferences and present their research.

ALF will provide travel awards for 2025-2026 scientific conferences* related to liver research or another research conference that could benefit the applicant’s career or research projects in the liver field (e.g., Keystone Symposia, FASEB Science Research Conferences, Summer Liver Academy Meeting, etc.). ALF encourages cross-discipline learning and eligibility is not restricted to conferences solely focused on liver research.  Please contact research@liverfoundation.org if you have questions about the eligibility of a specific conference.

Travel award recipients will be reimbursed up to $1,500 (maximum award amount) for travel, lodging, meals, and registration costs. Awardees will be required to submit documentation for expenses following the meeting for reimbursement.

*AASLD administers its own travel award program for Digestive Disease Week and The Liver Meeting. Individuals interested in attending DDW or TLM should refer to AASLD’s award program webpage for further details on how to apply.
