New Investigator Status Form

To apply for New Investigator travel awards, the applicant must complete a New Investigator (NI) form.

The NI form must be signed by the applicant’s Supervisor, Mentor, or Department Chair, confirming that the applicant is a student or a researcher currently in full-time training, or is within three years of their senior degree (e.g., Ph.D. or M.D.).

The full range of New Investigator awards available for IFPA 2027 will be announced once confirmed. Applicants should select the relevant award option(s) on the form, including the SLIMP New Investigator Travel Award, which is intended for applicants based in Latin America. Applicants based in the United States should also select the NIH Award option, if applicable.
