Society Boosts Support for Researchers to Attend ENDO 2026 and Provides Career Development Opportunities

As an endocrine scientist and long-time Society member, I’m proud of the many programs our organization offers to both our basic and clinical researchers. The Endocrine Society, of course, represents professionals across the full range of our field, from bench to bedside.

But I want to take this opportunity to highlight some of the work we do specifically for endocrine scientists. Our initiatives in this area rest on three prongs: Presenting, Publishing, and Mentorship.

Presenting For the first prong, Presenting, I was pleased to announce in January a one-year expansion of our ENDO 2026 travel grant programs . This move provides significant additional financial support that will allow more researchers to attend our annual meeting, taking place June 13 – 16, 2026 in Chicago, Ill.

Approved unanimously by the Board of Directors, this initiative: Increases to $1,500 the grant amount for each recipient of the Early Investigator Awards, Outstanding Abstract Awards, and Early Career Forum. Provides up to 200 additional grants of $1,500 per award recipient for the Outstanding Abstract Awards ($1,750 per award for international recipients).
