Cornell Travel Award announcement (Banff 2026)

Each Cornell Travel Grant will provide up to USD $2,500 to pathology trainees and junior pathology faculty within 7 years of finishing training, with interest/involvement in renal transplant pathology, from countries classified by the World Bank as low-income or lower-middle-income economies (link here) to defray the costs of registration, travel, housing, and expenses directly related to the meeting.

• 1.      Applicant CV
• 2.      A brief statement describing the applicant's interest in kidney transplant pathology and anticipated benefit from attending the Banff meeting.
• 3.      A letter of support, if available (self-nomination is allowed).

Applicants should be RPS members; non-members can apply for membership at the time they submit their applications [Renal Pathology Society - Join the RPS]

Applications must be received by the RPS Secretary (secretary@renalpathsoc.org ) no later than May 31, 2026.

Please direct any questions to the RPS secretary
