Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/23/2010 - 09:48

US residents and researchers may apply for travel awards to attend a Gene Annotation Workshop to be held at the ASPB's Plant Biology 2010 meeting (July 31 - August 4, 2010, Montreal, Canada). If selected, the travel award will cover the cost of the Plant Biology 2010 meeting registration cost. We expect to award 10-20 participants for the "Plant Ontology and Gramene's Gene Annotation Workshop" to be held on Saturday, July 31, 2010 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Please apply at the Plant Ontology website by July 15, 2010. Any scientist/researcher/student working and/or studying in the USA expected to attend the Plant Biology meeting may apply. Preference will be given to underrepresented groups such as women and minorities as well as to young US scientists including graduate students, postdoctoral scholars and young faculty.

If you have questions and or need help, please send email.

This workshop is being organized by the Comparative Plant Genomics and Community Projects on Plant Ontology project and the Gramene database.
