Educational Grant Information

MSACL's mission is educational advancement in the area of clinical mass spectrometry. The Educational Grant program is intended to advance this directive.

Overview

1. Awards cover 50% discount on conference registration and 100% discount on short course registration.

2. If you have received support 2 or more times for the category you are applying for (e.g., Young Investigator, Lab Director, etc) your chances of receiving additional support decrease significantly.

3. Make sure you apply to the the correct program – read the requirements carefully. If you don’t qualify – don’t apply.

4. If your grant requires a mentor's support email – please ensure they submit the endorsement.
