These awards, of $250 each, are to support travel for graduate and professional students to present at a national or international meeting or conference on topics related to medical humanities and social medicine. They are open to any graduate or professional student at Case Western Reserve University.

The applications will be judged by an interdisciplinary committee of CWRU faculty. The criteria for selection are (1) an accepted abstract for a poster, paper or presentation, and (2) contribution to scholarship related to medical humanities and social medicine. Applications are due Wednesday, March 1, 2017.
