The ISTM Research Award program provides moderate grants each year designed to stimulate travel medicine research by supporting comprehensive research projects. For larger projects, the grants may provide support for pilot studies to enable researchers to collect data/test hypotheses so that they can then apply to other agencies for more substantive research grants.
  • Research must be travel medicine oriented.
  • Application and protocol proposal must be scientifically sound and must be in accordance with international ethical guidelines.
  • There must be no conflicts of interest for any of the investigators who apply for research funding.
  • Grant applicants must be ISTM Members in good standing.
    Applications are invited for projects which can be realistically completed with ISTM grant money alone.
