ALL PARTICIPANTS:

We anticipate support from ISBA funds and from ASA/SBSS for travel support.  This support includes awards from the Pilar Iglesius Fund,  the ISBA Lifetime Members Junior Researcher Fund, and the Graduate Travel Award Fund.  We expect awards ranging from $200 to $1000  depending on location (relative cost of travel to Spain).  All current  students and recent PhDs are eligible to apply.

US 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
    • 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).
    • 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 research, such as inference for event time data, high dimensional data, network models, etc.). In addition the same criteria as for NSF support apply.
  • U.S. participants who do not meet these criteria are still eligible to apply for the general ISBA and ASA/SBSS awards above.

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".
