The CVMM EMCR Conference Award provides financial assistance to enable emerging UNSW researchers in the field of cardiovascular and metabolic health to share their research around the world.

The recipients will each receive $2,000 to assist with travel expenses related to domestic or international conferences and meetings attended or scheduled to be attended in 2024.

The goal of this award is to support early- and mid-career researchers (0-10 years post-PhD award, relative to opportunity) in cardiovascular and metabolic health across various disciplines, ranging from discovery to implementation science.
