Vere D. Wenger Award
Travel Grants to Present
Research On Cancer


Vere D. Wenger TRAVEL award: Vere D. Wenger funds are available to help defray partial travel expenses from faculty and staff members in all fields (humanities, law, medicine, natural and social sciences, etc), from all of the Colleges on The University of Iowa campus who present papers at conferences and/or who attend professional meetings which contribute to the knowledge of cancer or for the well-being of cancer patients. The purpose of these funds is to support travel for researchers who have no other source of support for such travel. We recommend applications be submitted at least 30 days prior to the trip, and awards must be applied for and approved before the meeting has occurred.

Decisions concerning use of these funds are made by the Leaders of the 6 formal research programs of the HCCC. Inquiries from HCCC members and others in need of support to travel to a cancer meeting should be made to the Program Leader most appropriate for the research being supported. Learn more about Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center programs.

The following will be required before requests will be funded:

  • Information on the dates, location and sponsorship of the meeting
  • A letter of acceptance of the paper and/or a program listing the presentation
  • An abstract of the paper
