Preference will be given to young researchers (graduate students, postdocs, junior faculty) or more senior researchers who are new to the field of ciliate biology or who reside in a part of the world in which studies of biodiversity are under-represented. However, any researcher who can demonstrate the need for travel funds and who proposes to present a paper communicating significant new results will be considered for support.
Successful proposals may be funded up to a level of $1200 per applicant. Any funding above that level would depend on the amount available to the IRCN-BC and would require additional justification from the applicant.
Applications are due May 4, 2012 (late proposals will be considered if funds are still available)
Applicants must submit a proposal consisting of the following parts:
• Cover sheet with personal information
• Abstract of presentation (250 words maximum)
• Budget for expenses
