Young Scholar Travel Grants

APPLICATIONS DUE JUNE 30, 2011

The Translational Research on Child Neglect Consortium (TRCNC) will provide travel grants to a small number of young scholars to attend the upcoming 2011 meeting at The University of Iowa, Iowa City on September 8th and 9th, 2011.  A major goal of the TRCNC is to promote research career development. As part of the meeting, those awarded Young Scholars Travel grants will receive additional research career mentoring by a senior faculty member of the TRCNC.

To be considered for this travel grant, applicants should send:

* a completed application;
* a copy of your curriculum vitae (CV) or biosketch;
* a one-page description of your current research and description of your interest in child neglect; and
* a letter of support from a supervisor or mentor.

As the travel stipends are meant to go to young scholars (postdoctoral, minority and young investigators) who would not be able to come to the meeting without some financial support, a cover letter should explain why attendance would not be possible without financial support.

Women and those from underrepresented groups, including racial/ethnic minorities, are encouraged to apply.

Applications and supporting documents should be sent via email to TRCNC@jjay.cuny.edu by June 30, 2011.  Letters of support can be emailed in PDF format to the above address or faxed to TRCNC with an attached cover sheet including the applicant’s name to (212) 484-1199.
