Travel Award for Young Investigators

The National Human Genome Research Institute is providing travel awards of $750 to up to 13 young investigators from U.S. institutions (defined as completion of doctoral training within the last 6 years). U.S. citizenship is not a requirement. Qualified persons requesting consideration for a travel award must submit the following items to melindagray@comcast.net, no later than January 28:

• current CV
• formatted abstract (please refer to the abstract submission guidelines on the conference Web site)
• conference registration and lodging form (please refer to the registration page on the conference Web site, and note that your credit card will not be billed until early March)

Awards will be made based on the research submitted in the abstract and the academic promise of the candidate with some priority given to applications from women, underrepresented minorities, and applicants with disabilities. Submitted material will be reviewed, and funding decisions made, by the conference programme committee.
