11th Annual Genes, Brain and Behavior Meeting of IBANGS
TRAVEL AWARD APPLICATIONS
11th Annual Genes, Brain and Behavior Meeting
of IBANGS
Dresden, Germany, June 5-8 2009
Deadline for Travel Award Application: TBA
With the generous support of a grant from three institutes of the National Institutes
of Health USA, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institute
of Child Health and Human Development, and National Institute of Mental Health,
we are pleased to offer stipends in partial support of travel to attend the 11th Annual Meeting of the International Behavioural and Neural Genetics Society.
Travel Award Details
A limited number of stipends are available for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows,
and junior faculty members who have held faculty rank for less than 5 years.
Selection will be based on the abstract submitted with meeting registration; financial
need will also be a consideration. It is required that travel awardees present either
an oral presentation or a poster at the meeting. It is not necessary for the presentation
to involve studies related to alcohol, but preference will be given to those engaged
in alcohol research.
From the Travel Awardees, four will be selected based on their proposed presentation
at the meeting as the Outstanding Young Investigator Awardees. Two students, one
postdoctoral fellow, and one junior faculty member will be invited to present their
work in a special oral presentation session at the meeting, and to prepare their
presented work for peer-review in consideration for publication in Genes, Brain
and Behavior (G2B).
