Next Generation Investigator Award
Next Generation Investigator Awards
CASSS recognizes the challenges faced by graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and early career professionals in launching and navigating a career and building a professional network. Through our Next Generation Investigator (NGI) Awards, we encourage participation in our Symposia and Fora with travel awards for participants from around the world.
CASSS meetings tend to be small, collegial events with career-advancing opportunities to network with leading industrial and government researchers, developers of cutting-edge instrumentation and methods, as well as biotherapeutic regulators and policymakers.
