Travel support for the International Job Shadowing Program - Open Call 2025

Overview of Travel Support

Purpose: Global BioImaging International Job Shadowing Program - Open Call 2025

Purpose and Eligibility

Global BioImaging is providing a limited number of travel grants for successful applicants who do not have institutional travel support to do a job shadowing visit. Any eligible person (see prerequisites for application below) from around the globe is welcome to apply. The selection process will prioritize diversity among applicants and ensure global equitable access. Additionally, our approach will emphasize maximizing regional and national diversity among travel grantees. The number of travel grantees from the same country will be limited and only one applicant may be selected from the same institution.

Prerequisites for application

  • You work in one of the following:
    • An imaging core facility as a core facility professional (director, manager, staff, etc.)
    • A research lab with imaging as a central focus where you provide access to and training in microscopy, imaging, and/or image analysis
    • An image analysis team or research lab where you provide image analysis as a service or consultation to scientists at your institution or others
  • To ensure the fair distribution of travel grants, if you have been awarded a travel grant by Global BioImaging within the 24 months prior to June 30, 2025, you are not eligible to apply
