*Student Travel Grants - International Biogeography Society*
The International Biogeography Society is awarding travel grants for students to attend the 2009 biennial meeting, which will be held January 8-12, 2009 in Merida, Mexico. The U.S. National Science Foundation has provided a large grant to IBS that will pay for several dozen students from U.S.-based institutions to attend the meeting. Students awarded these grants will still need to pay meeting registration costs, but most other expenses, such as airfare, hotel costs, and food, will be supported – up to a maximum of $1,300 per award recipient. IBS will also provide a limited number of travel grants for students based outside the U.S. These grants will award a maximum of $800 per award participant. All grants will be awarded to graduate and advanced undergraduates giving oral or poster presentations at the meeting. Each student will need to submit an application along with an electronic letter of recommendation from a non-student member of IBS. Application instructions can be found at: http://www.biogeography.org/html/Meetings/2009/travel.html Applications and supporting materials are due by *October 31**st**, 2008*. Grant recipients will be notified by *November 15**th**, 2008.* * * Please contact Matt Heard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with any questions. > > -- ******************************************************** Matt Heard PhD Student Brown University Ecology and Evolutionary Biology 80 Waterman St. Box G-W Providence, RI 02912 [EMAIL PROTECTED] heard.m.googlepages.com
