Travel Award

The GIPS Travel Award is given annually by the GIPS to a pathology trainee with a demonstrated interest in gastrointestinal pathology. Factors considered in the evaluation of applicants include exposure or lack thereof to GI pathology subspecialty training and demonstrate interest in GI pathology (as evaluated based on CV, publications/abstracts and/or personal communication). GIPS membership is not required in order to apply for this award. The award comprises $500 for travel expenses and up to $1,000 to cover the cost of attending one of the courses listed below.

The standard courses usually supported are as follows, pending availability:

Additionally, GIPS is happy to consider providing support to attend any other reputable online or in-person course with a GI pathology focus (eg, a USCAP interactive microscopy course).

The Travel Award does not expire and therefore does not need to be used in the year it was awarded.

Applications for the 2024 award are currently being accepted. The deadline is 2/19/2024. Please email the following information along with CV to Dr. E. Furth:
