ISBA 2010/Valencia 9: Applications for travel funding for new researchers

Limited travel funding will be available for students and recent PhDs to
attend the ISBA 2010 world meetings.  Please note the February 28 deadline.

ALL PARTICIPANTS:
We anticipate support from ISBA funds and from ASA/SBSS for travel support. We
expect awards ranging from $200 to $1000 depending on location (relative cost
of travel to Spain).

U.S. PARTICIPANTS:
We anticipate travel support for junior investigators from US institutions
(the institutional affiliation counts. Your personal citizenship or residence
status is irrelevant). NSF support is subject to formal approval and will be
available for participants who are within 7 years from completing the Ph.D.
(Ph.D. after June 1 2003) or about to complete their Ph.D. (with expected
graduation by Jan 1 2011) and who present at the meeting (talk or poster). 
Women and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
Subject to formal final approval we expect to support 10 participants with up
to $1000 towards travel expenses.

We have applied for NIH support for junior participants who present work
related to cancer research (related work can include research with strong
potential for application in cancer reserach, such as inference for event time
data, high dimensional data, network models, etc.). In addition the same
criteria as for NSF support apply.

APPLICATION:
In anticipation of these funding opportunities we invite applications for
travel support  (other than for the Australian and Taiwanese sources indicated
above).  Please send email to Patricia Cunningham, pcunning@mdanderson.org,
using the subject "ISBA travel award".

Please send plain text messages using exactly the numbered items 1 through 7
for US applicants or 1 through 5 for those from the rest of the world.  Please
cut & paste the list, with your information added. No separate cover letter
needed--in fact, please do not send any lest we have to read it :-)

1. Name, email address, home page URL, institutional affiliation:
2. Country:
3. Date of Ph.D. (tentative completion date for graduate students):
4. ISBA membership status:  yes or no
5. Title and type (poster or talk) of your presentation:
6. For US participants (for consideration of NIH funding): indicate if your
work is related to cancer research. If it is not obvious from the title,
please indicate in less than 50 words)
7. For US participants:  please indicate if you are a woman or an
underrepresented minority:

DEADLINE:
All applications are due by February 28, 2010. The program committee will
review submissions and decisions are expected to be made by March 20, 2010.
