CBE Young Investigator Award

The CBE is pleased to continue its Young Investigator program to encourage 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. Attendees include engineers and scientists performing biofilm
research at other labs and 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 our upcoming meeting happening
July 11–13 in Bozeman, Montana.
Awardees will be chosen by the CBE Executive 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 requirements:
Abstracts should be no longer than one (1) page (12-point font) and include a presentation title and author names and affiliations.
Email submissions to: Paul Sturman CBE Industrial Coordinator
Deadline: Friday, April 21, 2023
