SfN-IBRO International Travel Awards

Background
SfN offers travel awards for neuroscientists under the age of 35 from the less-developed countries of the five International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) regions (Africa, Asian/Pacific, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Europe) to attend Neuroscience 2010, scheduled for November 13-17, 2010 in San Diego, CA.

Eligibility
Nominees must be from a developing country, under 35 years old, and the first author of an abstract presented at the annual meeting. The applicant must provide a copy of the abstract.

Application Information
The applicant should be the first author of an abstract to be presented at the SfN annual meeting. A copy of the abstract submitted to SfN for a poster or a platform presentation is required.

Awardees will be notified prior to the SfN abstract deadline as to whether they have been elected for the SfN travel grant. However, this award is contingent upon the awardee's abstract being accepted by SfN, proof of attendance at the meeting, and fulfillment of the requirements as stated above.
