The National Science Foundation has approved an award to partially cover travel expenses to the 5th ISR in Townsville, Australia. Funding support (approximately $1250 per person) is available to support travel and other meeting costs. Funds are limited to US citizens or permanent residents of the US. Preference will be given to early career investigators (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, research associates, assistant and associate professors) and presenters. Women and members of under-represented minorities are encouraged to apply. If interested, please submit (via email) a brief letter of intent and CV to VG Chinchar ([log in to unmask]) or Amanda Duffus ([log in to unmask]). Students and post-doctoral fellows should include in their application a brief letter from their mentor describing how attendance at this meeting will benefit their career and research efforts. Greg
