Travel Fellowship Grants

An important goal of the SERI-ARVO meeting is to focus on young investigators and their research endeavors, and to confer these individuals with the opportunity and occasion to present their research, and interact with other clinicians and researchers in their field. Towards this objective, together with the generous support of industry and academic societies, the SERI-ARVO meeting is pleased to provide a Travel Fellowship Grant Program bestowing financial awards to young investigators whose research findings, to be presented at the (SERI-ARVO Meeting), are considered to be of high quality and interest to the vision and ophthalmology community, and who therefore demonstrate potential for future significant research accomplishments. It is our belief that attendance at our meeting provides a unique opportunity for these investigators to discuss their research with leaders in their fields and receive incentives to continue their research efforts
