ATS Travel Awards

Minority Trainee Travel Award (MTTA)

The goal of the Minority Trainee Travel Award (MTTA) program of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) is to increase the representation in Pulmonology, Critical care, Sleep medicine and researchers by providing an opportunity for underrepresented minorities (e.g., African American, Hispanic, Native American, Alaskan Native and Pacific Islander), who are trainees in programs in the United States to attend the ATS International Conference (IC). The MTTA is supported by an educational grant from Merck & Co., Inc.

Resident Travel Awards (RTA)

The American Thoracic Society’s Resident Travel Award (RTA) program for internal medicine and pediatric residents is aimed at increasing physician workforce numbers in clinical and research careers in Pulmonary, Critical Care and/or Sleep medicine by providing an opportunity to attend the annual ATS International Conference.  It is believed that exposure to the excitement of the scientific, translational and clinical information presented at the conference will provide a compelling series of reasons for residents to enter one of these fields applying to an adult or pediatric pulmonary, critical care and sleep fellowship program. The RTA program is supported by an educational grant from Merck.
