Travel Fellowship

We are pleased to announce that the ISER Travel Fellowship application process for Young Investigators is now open through March 1, 2012. The Travel Fellowships is available for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows or young faculty within five years of formal training (ISER Bylaws) to subsidize meeting expenses.

ISER Travel Fellowships are intended to assist in defraying the travel costs of Fellowship recipients who attend the Biennial Meeting. This will include waiver of registration fees as well as partial payment of air fare; the latter will be based upon average, round-trip coach air fare from the Fellowship recipient's geographical region to the airport most proximal to the meeting city. Travel Fellowships will be paid by check in U.S. dollars; recipients are responsible for converting these payments to the currency of their choice.

Please review the eligibility criteria carefully. Questions should be directed to the ISER office in San Francisco, CA, USA, 415-561-8569 or mail@iser.org. We hope that ISER members will encourage Young Investigators to apply for a Travel Fellowship, in support of the participation of young scientists in ISER's Berlin Biennial Meeting. We look forward to receiving applications for consideration.
