2027 Medicinal and Bioorganic Chemistry Foundation Student Travel Fellowships

The Medicinal and Bioorganic Chemistry Foundation was established for the arrangement and sponsorship of international conferences, symposia, and educational programs that are dedicated to the advancement of bioorganic, synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry.

The Foundation will next sponsor the 18th Winter Conference on Medicinal and Bioorganic Chemistry, which will be held in the Steamboat Grand Hotel, Steamboat Springs, Colorado from Sunday January 31st to Thursday February 4th, 2027. The 18th Winter Conference will bring together industrial and academic scientists from across the chemistry-medicine continuum and will be focused on drug discovery and development.

The Foundation will be providing partial support for research active undergraduate students and graduate students to attend the 2027 Conference. Students who are carrying out research in medicinal chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and chemical biology are encouraged to apply. All Fellowship recipients will have to present the results of their research in the Conference poster session. The top undergraduate and graduate student poster presenters will receive cash prizes.

The Board of the Foundation will evaluate all applications and award up to 15 fellowships. Fellowship support includes $1,700 for the student’s travel and lodging, in addition to full coverage of registration fees. Students must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in North America. The Foundation seeks to support a diverse cohort of MBCF Scholars and allow them to meet and interact with chemists from industry and academia.
