To assist students and a small number of more senior scientists, the Biophysical Society and IUPAB have limited funds available for travel fellowships to the 2008 Joint Meeting of the Biophysical Society and the IUPAB International Congress. Each award may be applied towards roundtrip airfare to the Meeting. The purpose of these travel fellowships is to foster and initiate further interaction among biophysicists and scientists working in countries experiencing financial difficulties.

The following eligibility requirements must be met:

• The applicant is performing research in countries experiencing financial constraints.

• The applicant should be the presenting author.

• The following materials are required at time of on line submission by each applicant:

  1. Copy of the abstract submitted for presentation at the Meeting. 

  2. A short (1 page) Curriculum Vitae containing the most relevant publications and description of current research interests and goals. 

  3. A list of any previous meetings attended and sources of support. 

  4. A request for partial or total support and rationale for request.

  5. Students: Two letters from sponsors who are familiar with the student's research progress.
     Senior Scientists: A self-written letter outlining the importance of such an award if granted.

Please note, because this is a travel award, applicants must be present at the meeting in order to receive their award.

The Biophysical Society has limited travel support available for undergraduate and graduate student members who are recommended by their advisors to attend the 2008 Joint Biophysical Society Meeting and IUPAB International Congress. Each travel award may be used towards roundtrip airfare to the Meeting site not to exceed $500.00. Selection of scientific awardees will be based on scientific merit. Priority will be given to those presenting papers at the meeting.  Students’ advisors are expected to recommend only their very best students and to write letters that provide evidence of their excellent achievements in research. 

The following eligibility requirements must be met: 

• The applicant must be accepted as a student member with 2008 member dues paid by the application deadline, October 1, 2007. An application form for membership is located at http://www.biophysics.org/members/memapp.pdf.
