[Dinesh Kumar]

Dear Postdocs,

The PDA Conference Travel Grants, covering the period from July 1st, 2016 to December 31, 2016, is now open for application.
The deadline is May 31, 2016. 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.     Applicant must be a current MIT post-doc.
2.     Must be presenting a talk/poster at a conference scheduled between July 1st, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
3.     Have not received a past travel grant from the MIT PDA.
4.     Submit application only for a single conference.
5.     At least, a 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 following form:
https://form.jotform.com/61286619202959
The deadline for the online application is May 31, 2016, and awardees will be announced by the end-of-June 2016.
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
