Annual PCA Travel Award

The PCA Travel Award is designed to assist one Black, Latine, or Indigenous scientist in attending one in-person conference per year. Previous awardees attended the Plant Biology 2022 conference in Portland, Oregon, USA. This year we are providing an award to cover travel and registration fees to the 2023 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Single-Cell Approaches in Plant Biology. Learn more about Gordon Research Conferences here.

2023 PCA Travel Award eligibility requirements, and a link to the application form are below. Applications are now closed.

Meet our 2023 Travel Award Recipient Oluwatoyosi Adaramodu!

The award recipient(s) will receive:
  • Full funding for registration fees.
  • Full funding for travel and accommodations (included in the GRC registration fee).
  • Administrative assistance in making arrangements for travel and accommodation (if needed).
  • Introduction to PCA members and activities, before and during the conference.
  • Access to 1-2 mentors to provide assistance in navigating the conference; mentors will remain connected with the awardee after the conference ends.

Travel Award recipient(s) will be notified by February 7, 2023.
