Student and Young Researcher Travel Awards
The United States National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing funding to support travel of US-based early career researchers and underrepresented minorities to attend TIES2015.
To apply for the travel award, the applicant should be a graduate student, a postdoctoral fellow, a early career researcher (at most five years of full-time, full-level non-postdoc post-PhD employment), or belong to traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM (including, but not limited to, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, persons with disabilities, women and veterans) and must submit an abstract to present at TIES2015.
Applicants should submit a CV, one recommendation letter, and a letter explaining how they will benefit from attending the conference and how receiving a travel award will help. Those letters should be emailed directly to Yulia R. Gel: ygl@utdallas.edu.
Priority will be given to candidates coming from particularly isolated institutions and to applicants who have not participated in the TIES meetings before. The deadline for travel award applications is September 28, 2015, and the results are expected to be announced by October 3, 2015. We expect that travel awards will not exceed $2000.
