<span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Calibri;">The MIT-PDA is pleased to announce the winners of the MIT-PDA travel grant for the first 2016 cycle (Jan-June 2016). We received excellent and very competitive applications for this cycle. The evaluation
team has extensively reviewed all the applications and has selected five applications, exclusively based on their scientific merits, originality, and impact. The list of the winners is attached. The winners may be contacted by a PDA officer to spotlight their
submitted research on the PDA website or other PDA platforms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

2016 and a fresh link for the applications will be emailed. If you have a specific question, please attend one of the monthly PDA meetings and discuss it with the officers (all the venue and dates for the monthly meetings are given on the MIT-PDA website: <a href="http://pda.mit.edu/" style="color: purple;">http://pda.mit.edu/</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
