Travel Fellowship Fund

The SID is committed to fostering and nurturing the careers of young investigators. The most vulnerable of our community of scholars and scientists are those investigators at the beginning of their careers, either as postdoctoral fellows or junior faculty.  They desperately need our support—material, financial, and personal—through mentorship, friendship, and funding.

It is likely that despite generous funding for travel fellowships from the AAD World Congress, the Kligman Estate, and the ESDR, approximately 70% of the travel grant applications for the IID meeting will not be funded. You can help.

As SID members, your contributions to the Travel Fellowship Fund can make a real difference in the future career trajectory of young investigators. These promising individuals, who represent the future of our field, will have the opportunity to share insights, best practices, and ideas from different continents and cultures. Financial support is something that they cannot do without.
