Dear Colleagues,
The POD Diversity Committee enthusiastically invites proposals for the 2013 Donald H. Wulff Travel Fellowships Program.
Named to
honor the memory of an early supporter of the Diversity Committee, Donald H.
Wulff, the travel fellowship program awards up to $1,200 to individuals
(and up to $2,400 for teams of two or more) to support their travel to the
annual POD Conference. The conference this year will be held in Pittsburgh, PA
at the historic Omni William Penn Hotel, November 6-10. Conference
registration/membership fees are deducted from the award and the remaining
amount, if any, will be presented to you in the form of a check at the
conference, made out to your institution.
Eligibility
Criteria:The POD
Diversity Committee welcomes applications from all individuals, irrespective of
the individuals' nationality and/or citizenship. However, because of the
particular demographic profile of POD as an organization, the applicant must
