Important Information :

DON’T REGISTER FOR EARLY BIRD RATE if you are submitting a Travel Grant Application!
Should your Travel Grant application be unsuccessful, you will still be eligible to register at the early bird rate after the results are announced.

The travel grants are restricted to ISN members and SRC participants, priority is given to nephrologists who apply from countries with low and middle economies (as per World Bank criteria). Priority will be given to ISN members from developing countries with an abstract accepted.

No more than 3 travel grants can ever be allocated to any one individual. Therefore please note that applicants who have already benefited from 3 ISN travel grants to attend an ISN meeting in the past will not be eligible for this round.
