Trainee Member Resources

Investing in the Next Generation of Biomaterials Leaders
Each year, the society provides travel awards to students who demonstrate excellence in their field.
This applies to the World Congress, the Canadian conferences, and the American Society for Biomaterials annual meetings. At each CBS conference, students are recognized for their oral and poster presentations.

Student Chapters
One of the priorities of CBS/SCB is to assist in the creation of local, student-led chapters providing both social and academic regional events for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.
Our currently active local chapters are listed below. Please follow the links to their websites for information about their activities:
- CBS BC Student Chapter
- CBS Alberta Student Chapter
- CBS Montreal Student Chapter
- CBS Quebec City Student Chapter
- CBS Ottawa Student Chapter
- CBS Kingston Student Chapter
- CBS Southwestern Ontario Student Chapter
- CBS Toronto Student Chapter (https://www.cbs-tsc.com/)
CBS/SCB encourages students from other regions of Canada to take similar initiatives. CBS/SCB will provide annual seed funding to assist with expenses associated with event organization for qualifying student groups. Please contact us if you would like to lead a student chapter initiative in your region.
