The Translational Science Center (TSC) located on the Reynolda Campus of Wake Forest University (WFU) has the goal of facilitating the development and growth of a community of scholars on the Reynolda campus who will bring diverse disciplinary expertise to the study of functional health in aging. Part of our mission is to support the education and involvement of our student body in research relating to healthy aging.

We will be supporting travel grants for WFU undergraduate students and WFU graduate students whose programs are housed on the Reynolda campus to attend conferences and workshops related to our research mission.

Students may request up to a maximum of $500 each calendar year.
To be eligible for a travel grant, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Wake Forest student in good academic standing
• Must not be receiving funding from other sources to cover requested expenses
• Presenting a paper/poster or registered for a training workshop
• Presentation or workshop must have a focus on aging research
• Have a faculty sponsor willing to write a letter of support

Funds are limited and will be distributed on a competitive basis. Priority will be given to students presenting original research. To apply, students should complete a travel application. All applications are reviewed by the TSC administrative core. Travel Awards are processed as reimbursements after your travel has been completed.
