Keystone Symposia: Funding Opportunities for 2027 Conferences
Keystone Symposia has upcoming opportunities for scientists from low- and middle-income countries to participate in select 2027 conferences through the Global Health Travel Awards (GHTA). These awards provide comprehensive financial support, covering registration, lodging, airfare, and ground transportation, to attend conferences in-person. GHTA application deadlines vary from August 25, 2026 through January 9, 2027. Be sure to check conference specific details so you don't miss a deadline!

Innovations in Low-Cost and Simplified Pathogen Sequencing Workflows
This Grand Challenge initiative seeks to accelerate the development of low-cost, streamlined, and operationally simple targeted pathogen sequencing workflows designed for routine public health use in LMICs. We invite researchers and innovators to propose bold, scalable solutions that lower sequencing costs, simplify protocols, and democratize access to genomics.
