Trainees and young investigators are encouraged to submit their abstracts for consideration. Awardees will have the unique chance to present their abstract at the 2020 PancreasFest, providing access to a network of renowned leaders in the field of pancreatology! This is a great opportunity to make mentorship connections with renowned pancreatologists.

Who Should Submit?

Trainees and junior faculty within three years of appointment may apply for PancreasFest Travel Scholarships. Award amounts may vary based on awardee’s location.  All scholarship awardees will receive fee-waived registration for PancreasFest 2020 and CAPER Pancreas Academy 2020. Awards will be distributed to awardees following PancreasFest2020.
