Merrick is currently supporting the development of biosafety in Argentina by sponsoring candidates who want to obtain Level 1 Professional Certifications at the Asociacion Argentina de Microbiologia 2019 Conference in Buenos Aires.

How Does Sponsorship Work?

The IFBA partners with corporations and partners who wish to sponsor a candidate’s certification exam or recertification fees. Pairing of sponsors and candidates in a country or region is based on several criteria including:

  • The sponsor’s desire to support an individual in a certain country or region based on their core business
  • A need identified by the IFBA or its Member Biosafety Associations
  • Requests from individual candidates for sponsorship of their exam fees

Payment for candidate exam fees are made directly to the IFBA Secretariat and not to the individual candidate.

If you would like to sponsor a candidate, or be sponsored, please contact the IFBA Secretariat at secretariat@internationalbiosafety.org.
