ISTH provides 298 Travel Awards to early career and Reach-the-World attendees

Each year, the ISTH Congress Scientific Committee rewards abstracts of outstanding quality and provides the submitting author with a Travel Award to attend the ISTH Congress. Three categories of Travel Award are distributed: Early Career Awards (165 awards), Reach-the-World Awards (104) and ISTH 2021 Philadelphia Congress Local Organizing Committee Legacy Fund Awards (29).​

The Early Career Awards are provided in the form of travel awards to those who meet the ISTH criteria for Early Career and submit a highly rated abstract. Travel Awards, consisting of $500 USD, are specifically intended to assist the presenting author with travel-related expenses who travel to the congress. In order to be considered for an Early Career Award, you must be the presenting author on an abstract submitted to the congress. 

The Reach-the-World Travel Awards are provided to clinicians and scientists from Reach-the-World countries. Travel awards for 2024 were between $500 and $2,000 USD, depending on location. They are specifically intended to assist the presenting author’s travel to and attendance at the Congress.

In partnership with the ISTH 2021 Congress Local Organizing Committee and Sriram Krishnaswamy, ISTH 2021 Congress Chair, the ISTH is offering a provisional travel award to early career/trainees from a training program in the United States who are traveling from the U.S. to the ISTH 2024 Congress in Bangkok to present an abstract. To be eligible for this award, attendees were required to provide a letter of proof of training status showing in the U.S. Each awardee receives $1,000 USD.
