Training/Travel

In addition to supporting research projects, the CEMI supports Caltech student/postdoc training by providing travel grants (both to meetings and to summer training courses) and facilities training grants. Calls for these programs are issued through MicroMail in the fall and spring each academic year. Contact the CEMI administrator with questions or to join the MicroMail email list.
