Regions that are under-served must be presented with fair and equitable opportunities to attend Global BioImaging training courses. The selection process will follow a scheme that maximizes the diversity and ensures equitable access globally. Our selection approach will maximize regional and national diversity amongst travel award grantees.
Any eligible person around the globe is welcome to apply for a travel grant to attend the course.

The review of travel grant applications will take place by a selection committee consisting of one member of the Global BioImaging team and one member of the Global BioImaging Management Board. The combined score awarded by two reviewers will be used to rank the applicants.
In the event when two candidates have an identical score, the tiebreaker will be resolved using the following in the order of:
The remaining eligible applicants will be placed on the waiting list. Should a selected successful applicant not be able to attend the course, the next highest-ranked applicant on the waiting list will be offered the travel grant.
