NCMGA would like to support travel to regional and national conferences by awarding travel grants to members in good standing or post-graduate genetics students in North Carolina. Awards will be granted on a “first come, first served” basis. Pre-approved conferences include the annual meetings of the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC), American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) and the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG). Attendance at other conferences may be acceptable when there is relevance to medical genetics. 

The maximum grant amount awarded will be $250 per individual. Payment of the grant funds will be made directly to the member as reimbursement after attendance of the conference. The completed application should be submitted prior to attendance at the meeting. Within one month of the conference completion, please provide evidence of the expenditure in the form of copies of receipts for registration, airline or rail ticket, auto rental or hotel stay to the NCMGA Vice President. Conference expenses reimbursed from other sources are not eligible for further NCMGA reimbursement.
