MSA-RMS Travel Scholarship Award 2002
Through a cooperative agreement between the Microscopy Society of America (MSA) and the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS), a travel scholarship is available to a graduate student or post-doctoral research assistant to attend a meeting or course organized by the RMS. Details of such events can be found at http://www.rms.org.uk. MSA will award up to $1000 towards travel and accommodation. RMS will cover the registration costs and partial accommodation costs. The applicant must be a member of MSA in good standing at the time the application is submitted and at the time of the meeting or course. For 2002, it is envisaged that the MicroScience 2002 Conference to be held July 9-11 in London (May 1 abstract deadline) will be the primary focus, although other RMS events will be considered. Applications for the award should consist of:
1. Applicants full name, address, email address, and details of academic and/or professional status;
2. A statement of up to 500 words outlining why the applicant wants to attend a named conference or course;
3. A letter from the applicant's faculty advisor/supervisor confirming the status of the applicant and detailing any supplementary financial support; and
4. If required for a conference presentation, an appropriately prepared abstract.
This abstract will need to be submitted in sufficient time and to have sufficient scientific content to be accepted into the official program of the conference. Applications should be sent to Dr. J. Bentley, MSA Awards Committee Chair, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Bethel Valley Road, PO Box 2008, Oak Ridge, TN 37831-6064 (email: bentleyj@ornl.gov) to arrive no later than April 10, 2002. The awardee is expected to be notified by April 17.
