The International Biogeography Society is awarding travel grants for
students and post-docs 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 young scientists from U.S.-based institutions to
attend the meeting. Applicants 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 students, advanced undergraduates, and post-
docs giving oral or poster presentations at the meeting.
Each applicant 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 here.
Applications and supporting materials are due by October 31st, 2008.
Grant recipients will be notified by November 15th, 2008.
