Two funding opportunities for US scientists to attend the 23rd International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR) at the Hofburg Imperial Palace in Vienna, Austria on July 3-7 of 2012. The North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee (NAASC) applied for funding from the US National Science Foundation for:

  1. Under-represented minorities, or faculty at minority-serving institutions/HBCUs (full funding)
  2. early-career scientist travel grants ($1,000)

Application deadline: March 31, 2012.

Full funding is available for up to 7 scientists as described above (1), and up to 11 early
career scientists (2).

NAASC's intent is to broaden participation in the Arabidopsis conference and so welcomes new members.

Notes:

  1. Only US scientists are eligible.
  2. Minority funding: some citizenship requirements must be met, with exceptions for faculty at MSIs/HBCUs; maximum time a person can receive this award is twice.
  3. Awards will be made as reimbursements.
  4. Early career travel awards for US scientists: only US citizens and permanent residents are eligible.
