CBE Young Investigator Award
The CBE Young Investigator Award Program encourages the participation of outstanding non-MSU biofilm investigators at its annual Montana Biofilm Science & Technology Meeting. This meeting serves as a great networking opportunity for early career investigators. The audience is a mix of engineers and scientists performing biofilm research in the lab as well as representatives from industry seeking innovative solutions to their biofilm challenges.
Targeting postdoctoral researchers and newly hired faculty, up to two investigators will be invited to present research at the Montana Biofilm Meeting, provided a $1,000 travel reimbursement, and complimentary attendance to the CBE's annual summer meeting in Bozeman, Montana.
Awardees will be chosen by the Montana Biofilm Meeting Program Committee based on research quality and relevance of the material to the CBE's mission, which is to advance fundamental interdisciplinary research and education related to the management of bacterial biofilms, and to transfer that knowledge to the realm of applied science and technology.
Abstract submission and deadline:
Submissions will be accepted starting March 1, 2026
