Patient Travel Awards

SPM Patient Travel Awards

The Society for Participatory Medicine (SPM) provides travel awards to patients who need financial assistance to help with their travel-related expenses when traveling to speak at conferences. These conferences are important, as they help e-patients share their participatory medicine story directly with relevant audiences. Without financial assistance, many patients are not able to afford to attend these conferences. (The Society also works with a number of conferences to have conference fees waived or discounted for e-patients.)

Apply for a Travel Award

If you are a Society member (a patient or caregiver) and interested in participating in a patient-friendly conference, you may apply for a travel award to attend.

Please read and review the Patient Travel Award Guidelines before applying. Then, fill out the online application:
