Virtual Conference Scholarships

ABSA International is offering up to ten scholarships to members of international affiliates in low-income and lower middle-income countries to attend virtually. This initiative aims to enhance professional development, knowledge-sharing, and global biosafety and biosecurity capacity-building by offering opportunities to professionals who might not otherwise have access to this event.

The newly established Elizabeth R. Griffin Program (ERGP) at Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Health Security builds on the 25-year legacy of the Elizabeth R. Griffin Foundation’s and ERGP at Georgetown’s (2018-2024) work and mission of excellence in research, education, and the improvement of human health and well-being. ERGP works to enhance and sustain leadership in the expanding field of global health science and security. Through collaborative research, training, and education, ERGP promotes evidence-based biosafety and biosecurity practices to protect the health and safety of researchers as well as the workers on the front lines of disease detection around the world. Our mission is to develop and deliver innovative biorisk management solutions that are local, practical and sustainable with our global partners.
