TRAVEL AWARD INFORMATION:

This year we will be offering 12 travel awards in the amount of $1,000. Travel awards are available for students and trainees at any level (doctoral, post-doctoral, resident, fellow, etc.). A limited number of travel awards are also available for junior faculty (instructor or assistant professor or equivalent level, within 5 years of beginning your first faculty position). Individuals who wish to compete for these awards must submit an abstract (on-line), and also have a letter from a sponsor sent to Leslie Lublink via email (leslie.lublink@gmail.com) or fax (503-210-1511) when the abstract is submitted. The support letter for junior faculty should affirm that the applicant is within the first five years of a faculty rank. Trainee travel award recipients are automatically considered for the Founder's Award competition at the meeting. To apply for a Travel Award, you must so indicate when you submit your abstract by selecting the radio button for Travel Award. If your abstract is accepted for a travel award you will either be selected to give a 10 min oral presentation on Monday, April 27th or present a poster along with a brief 5 minute oral presentation during the Poster Session and Reception on April 27th.

Abstracts for travel awards are due by November 15, 2019. You will be notified by December 6th if your abstract has been selected for a travel award. If you are not selected for a travel award you will still have the option to present a poster at the meeting.

Please indicate at the time of abstract submission if you would like your abstract to be considered for a travel award.
