Reminder: PDA Conference Travel Grants (period Jan-June 2015)

[Usama Kadri]

Dear Postdocs,

This is a reminder that the PDA Conference Travel Grants, covering the period from January 1st, 2015 to June 30th, 2015, is now open for application. The deadline is November 26th, 2014.

The grants will be in the amount of up to $1000 for international travel and up to $600 for domestic travel.

We encourage postdoc applicants from all disciplines to participate, as per the eligibility criteria specified below:

1.     Be a current MIT post-doc.
2.     Present a talk/poster at a conference.
3.     Have not received a past travel grant from the MIT PDA.
4.     Submit only a single application form.
5.     At least part of the presented work MUST have been carried out at MIT, and the MIT PI should be a co-author.
6.     Officers of the MIT PDA are not eligible.

To apply, please fill out properly every section of the online application form <http://form.jotformpro.com/form/42925660732962>.

The deadline for the online application is November 26th, 2014 and awardees will be announced by mid-December 2014.

Travel grants will be paid upon submission of all conference-related receipts to the Treasurer of the PDA (registration fee; travel, lodging, on site transportation, and food). If there are expenses that are being reimbursed by the department or other sources, please indicate this when submitting receipts. Travel grant funds will only cover amounts not already being reimbursed. PI’s and departmental administrators will be notified of the award.

Evaluation will be based exclusively on the scientific merits and originality of the submitted work. Therefore, a compelling description of the significance and impact of the presented project is particularly important.

The PDA Travel Grant Program is made possible through funding from the MIT Postdoctoral Association. The MIT PDA is funded in part by the Office of the Vice President for Research.



Best wishes,
MIT Postdoctoral Association (PDA)
