The National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent), with support from the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE), is pleased to announce travel awards for faculty from Minority Serving Institutions to attend Evolution 2013, as part of our continuing outreach efforts focusing on groups that are under-represented in evolutionary science.
If you are a faculty member at an MSI, HBCU or other institution with significant enrollment of under-represented minority students, you are encouraged to apply. Funds are available to cover conference registration, travel, food and lodging.
This award is intended to provide MSI faculty with an opportunity to present original research in evolution, systematic biology, evolutionary genomics/informatics, evolution education/outreach or other disciplines typically represented at the Evolution meetings. As such, your application must include a talk/poster title and abstract. In addition, you will be asked to provide a brief (1 page) statement describing how this award will contribute to your professional/scientific development, as well as provide benefit to your students and institution.

Application Deadline: April 5th, 2013 (Awards will be announced by April 12th, 2013)
