Paediatric Allergy Travel Grant

The Paediatric Allergy Travel Grant was created by the Allergy Section. It provides an educational opportunity for young physicians in, or interested in, the field of paediatric allergy, and fosters interest and participation in the section’s activities.  The $750 grant is awarded annually at the section’s business meeting to help offset expenses associated with attending the CPS Annual Conference.

Recipients will write a review of an allergy-related topic that is suitable to publish on the Allergy Section website and/or to submit to a peer-reviewed journal (e.g. Paediatrics & Child Health) (maximum of 500 words). The review is due three months after selection. The grant will be awarded in two installments: $500 upon selection and the remaining $250 upon receipt of the review.

Submission deadline: March 31
