not published for the US HUPO 2026 cycle. CNPN precedent for the HUPO World Congress: complimentary registration plus $500 CDN for travel expenses.
Requires an abstract submitted for the US HUPO conference. Early career researchers are defined by CNPN as researchers within 6 years of the date of their first independent research-related appointment, taking into account eligible leaves such as parental leave. CNPN membership applies.
TBD 2027 (2026 pattern: abstract for US HUPO 2026 had to be submitted or be submitted by October 24 — passed for the 2026 cycle)
Submit an abstract for the US HUPO conference by the stated date and apply through the CNPN US-HUPO travel award page.
Canadian route — requires CNPN affiliation. The ECR definition (within 6 years of first independent appointment) is more generous than the typical 5-years-post-PhD metabolomics definition.
Dates: 2027: TBD (US HUPO conferences are held annually, typically in the first quarter)
Location: 2027: TBD. 2026: St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Research match: Moderate adjacent match, same multi-omics/clinical-proteomics rationale as the HUPO World Congress but at North American scale and cost. US HUPO's standing award slate includes the Gilbert S. Omenn Computational Proteomics Award, indicating an explicit computational/database constituency relevant to Wishart's tool and database work; the Canadian National Proteomics Network partners on travel awards to this meeting, making it a practical venue for Canadian trainees from an Edmonton-based group.
