Cambridge Ion Channel Forum



The Cambridge lon Channel Forum was established in 2011 by Eddy Stevens and Clare Jones as a joint initiative between Pfizer Neusentis and Medimmune. The concept was to create an environment for industry and academic scientists working within the ion channel field in the Cambridge area to share data and ideas, ensuring all presentations and discussions were based around scientific data with little commercial focus. The CICF is organised by AstraZeneca, Metrion Biosciences and the British Pharmacological Society.


Registration and Abstract Submissions now open!

ECR Travel Bursary Guidelines 


Early Career Researchers can apply for a bursary to support travel costs for attending the Cambridge Ion Channel Forum meeting.

Eligibility
•    Be a current Early Career Researcher
•    Be a registered attendee of the event  
•    Apply by Friday 14 March 2025 at 3pm (GMT).

Criteria
Awards will be based on the number of eligible applications, with preference given to those who clearly demonstrate the benefits of attending the meeting. 

How to apply
Early Career Researchers can apply for a travel bursary during the registration process. We will ask you to complete the registration form and provide a brief paragraph confirming where you are studying or working to verify your ECR status, as well as a short statement (max 100 words) explaining how attending the meeting will benefit you.

When will I know if my application has been successful?
We will make every effort to notify applicants by Monday 24 March, to give sufficient time to book transport at reasonable fares.

How much can I apply for?
You can apply for up to £150 per applicant. 
 
What can I use this money for?
This bursary is intended to support attendees with travel costs, such as train or plane tickets. Unfortunately, the bursary cannot be used to cover the cost of the conference ticket. If you need help with funding the cost of the conference ticket, we encourage you to speak to your university department or employer. They often have funds available to support students/employees attending conferences that will help with your studies and/or career development.
 
Payment
•    If you are successful, we will provide you with the relevant information need to receive payment. Claims will need to be completed within four weeks of the closing date of the meeting, along with your receipts, the email confirming the bursary, and a certificate of attendance.
•    We will only make payments to a bank account in the applicant’s name, unless otherwise agreed with the Finance Team.

This bursary is open until Friday 14 March 2025 at 3pm (GMT).
