The [Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) Event Fellowship program](https://www.open-bio.org/event-awards/) is now in its 9th year. Since 2023, we have three application rounds per year with the following deadlines: 1 April, 1 August, and 1 December.

We changed the OBF event fellowship policy to include the points that the event that the applicant is applying to must be **high-quality and not predatory**. We also **require** the applicants and awardees to write the application and blog draft themselves, and prohibit the use of AI/LLMs to write their applications and blog posts. These changes are now integrated in [travel_fellowship.md](https://github.com/OBF/obf-docs/blob/master/Travel_fellowships.md) and the [OBF Event Fellowship application form](https://forms.gle/xKBJqC9L5U2SAEKV8).

Looking back at 2025, we received numerous applications, and **nine applicants were selected** from three rounds across 2025 to support their participation in various events. All OBF Event Fellowship awardees are required to write blog posts after their events; two of the people who were selected for awards in 2025 have not yet attended their events.

**Seven of them have written blog posts** sharing their experiences at events that promote open science and open source bioinformatics, with the support of the OBF Event Fellowship. You can read their posts here:
