Membership

Members are also eligible to apply for the UKCGG travel awards, which aim to encourage wider participation in meetings and to support the presentation of original cancer genetics research nationally and internationally. Up to three Travel Awards will be available annually to cover the registration, reasonable travel and accommodation costs for members to attend CGG meetings. Members may also apply for consideration of part-funding for relevant non-CGG meetings up to a maximum of £500 for European meetings and £1000 for destinations outside Europe!
