Deadline for Heatley-Payne Exchange Program Applicants

“Heatley-Payne Exchange Program for Early Career Scientists

Named in honor of British scientist Norman Heatley and U.S. scientist William “Jack” Payne, this grant is offered jointly with the Society for General Microbiology (SGM) to support the reciprocal exchange of one member to present their research at the other society’s main conference and to visit a research laboratory in that country. The award has been developed to strengthen a long lasting bond between the SGM and ASM. It is designed to benefit young scientists in both countries by giving them the opportunity to present their work overseas and experience the best of microbiology in the partner country.

The U.S. winner will attend the SGM’s Annual Spring Meeting where he/she will have the opportunity to present his/her work during the appropriate scientific session.
