Travel Awards
Registration fees have been set quite low for Students and Postdoctoral Fellows this year to encourage their participation, but in addition, requests for support are pending at several agencies, so we anticipate granting a limited number of Travel Awards to off-set the cost of attending this meeting. Students, postdocs and junior faculty who are in those groups traditionally underrepresented in science (women, members of ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities) are particularly encouraged to apply.
| Deadline | May 1, 2010 |

Applications should be sent to David Mitchell (with items 1-4 below as a single pdf) and must include:
- One- to two-page CV that includes your name, address, and email address, educational and research background, honors and awards, and publications.
- Brief summary of current research interests and interest in attending this meeting.
- Explanation of financial need.
- Statement describing your inclusion in a group underrepresented in science, if applicable.
- A letter from your current advisor (if applicable) that addresses your scientific contributions and financial need (emailed separately).
Applications received by March 15 will receive preferred consideration, and the first group of awardees will be notified in early April.
