CGA-IGC is pleased to offer seven $2000 travel grants to CGA-IGC members to defray costs associated with in-person attendance at the 2026 CGA-IGC Annual Meeting in Denver, CO from November 2-4.
Six of the travel grants are available to trainees and early career professionals in the field of hereditary gastrointestinal cancer. The goal of these grants is to support professional development and participation in the CGA-IGC Annual Meeting. At least half of these awards will be offered to allied health professionals including genetic counselors, nurses, social workers and advanced practice providers.
One additional travel grant is available to CGA-IGC members working in Latin America. This travel award is not restricted to early career professionals.
Applications from individuals who submitted a research abstract will be prioritized, but submission of an abstract is not mandatory. Award recipients from Latin America will also receive complimentary registration for the 2026 CGA-IGC Annual Meeting.
