Announcing our 2025 RRI Travel Grant Recipients
We are excited to announce the recipients of the Institute’s 2025 Travel Grants.
These grants will support awardees to present at national and international conferences and to visit collaborators and lab groups to progress their research goals in line with RRI’s mission to deliver world-class advances in human reproduction, and maternal and child health, while translating these discoveries into clinical care, policy and practice.
Congratulations to all the awardees — RRI looks forward to seeing the impact of this work and the connections made through these valuable opportunities.
