Please note that previous winners are not eligible to apply.

The evaluation and selection for the CFDC will be based on the SPC’s determination regarding the abstracts for oral/poster presentation. This will be administered by the CFDC Subcommittee. Conference registration fees will be waived for those selected for CFDC, and the funds can be used to cover the cost of travel and accommodation, but can only be claimed after attendance and presentation at ISCB ASC 2018.

The CFDC will be entirely separate from the Conference Award for Scientists (CASc) administered by the National Group Subcommittee and from the Student Conference Awards (StCA) administered by the Student Conference Awards Subcommittee. Those who apply for CASc or StCA, but not selected will automatically be considered for CFDC support if they qualify and will be informed accordingly.
