Family Fund FACTOR Travel Awards

Family Fund FACTOR Travel Awards

MIB Agents is pleased to offer a limited number of FACTOR travel awards for the scientific community, as well as OsteoWarriors and a family member to attend our FACTOR 2026 conference from June 25 - 27th in Columbus, OH.

Scientific Travel Awards
MIB Agents will award a limited number of travel awards to physicians and researchers who would like to attend FACTOR 2026 but do not have institutional or grant support to cover FACTOR 2026 registration and travel expenses. Special consideration will be given to Young Investigators, attendees from outside the US, and FACTOR 2026 speakers and poster presenters who do not have institutional support to cover conference expenses. Applications will open online at Proposal Central on January 12, 2026.

OsteoWarrior Travel Awards
We have a limited number of need-based OsteoWarrior Travel Awards for FACTOR 2025 that will be offered by invitation. Social Workers, Child Life Specialists, and medical professionals may nominate patients under the age of 25 through this form. For more details on eligibility and the application process for the Scientific Travel Award, please see the FACTOR OsteoWarrior Travel Award guidelines. Please email isabel@mibagents.org with any questions.

Collaboration between the scientific and patient communities is at the heart of MIB Agents. The MIB Agents Family Fund FACTOR Scientific Travel Awards are made possible through the generosity of osteosarcoma patients and families who raise funds in honor of an OsteoWarrior or OsteoAngel. These Family Funds not only support travel awards, but also fuel vital initiatives such as patient programs and the annual Outsmarting Osteosarcoma research grant. Their commitment to Making It Better by advancing collaboration, education, and research ensures that every MIB Agents award is especially meaningful.
