 Rockefeller
Travel Grants for the Plant and Animal Genome Meeting: Application
Guidelines
The organizers of the PAG XV through
the
University of Georgia, USA,
anticipate, pending
availability of funds, to give out 4 or 5 travel grants to attend the
Plant and Animal Genome Meeting XV, which will take place January 13 – 17
2006 in San Diego, USA. The travel grants are funded by
The Rockefeller Foundation and we encourage applications from students
and researchers in Developing Countries, particularly Africa, with an
interest in Genome Research. The amounts awarded will vary, but are
unlikely to cover all costs. Applicants are therefore strongly encouraged
to obtain matching funds from their home institution or from other
organizations to cover part of the costs associated with attending the PAG
meeting. Further information on the PAG meeting can be found at
http://www.intl-pag.org/.
To apply, please
e-mail your CV, a description of the funds requested, and a 1 page
statement describing your research and the anticipated benefits of
attending the PAG XV meeting, to Dr. Katrien M. Devos, University of
Georgia, Athens, USA (kdevos@uga.edu).
The application deadline is September 10th 2006. Candidates will be
informed of the outcome of their application by September 27th.
Successful candidates will be required to actively participate in the
meeting through an oral or poster presentation. Successful candidates are
responsible for obtaining a valid VISA to enter the USA.
Other travel grant
opportunities
A number of other
travel grants to participants planning to attend PAG XV Conference are
available. Applicants must apply by 06 October 2006. For more information,
