Registration

Full investigator: For individuals within academia or industry that do not qualify as a student or young investigator.

Student: A student is any individual who is engaged as a graduate or undergraduate in a university or college program or as an MD resident and is actively interested in research in the field of TERM. Students are required to provide their university ID for verification of their undergraduate/graduate status.

Young investigator: Young Investigators are defined as persons who are employed in the field of TERM, who are within 5 years of their terminal degree (BS, MS, PhD, MD etc.). Young Investigators should not hold an appointment as faculty, academic staff or group leader in a university/research institute or in industry. Young investigators are required to have their advisor/supervisor send a letter as proof of the bona fide status of the young investigator.

If you've been away from research (e.g. for a career break, maternity leave, or long-term sick leave), TERMIS will take this into consideration with your application. If you've taken formal maternity, paternity, or adoption leave as the primary career, or long-term sick leave, TERMIS will provide an extra six months for each period of leave when we consider your postdoctoral experience.

Emerging country: Registration eligibility is based on the country in which you currently reside, not your nationality. The countries included in this group are: (In Europe) Bulgaria, (In the Americas) Brazil and Mexico, and (In Asia-Pacific) India, Malaysia and Thailand.
