Travel Awards
The Center for Neurobehavioral Development offers travel awards to graduate
student members presenting at national and international scientific conferences.
Applications are considered bi-annually to support travel to conferences
or meetings held throughout the academic year. CNBD graduate student
membership is required for application. Applicants may be awarded
up to $500 based on review of scientific merit, conference being attended,
and the number of applicants per cycle.
To apply for the CNBD travel awards for
Fall/Winter 2009 conferences or meetings, please submit an abstract
and specify which major conference you wish to attend by
TBA. Submissions can be given
to Mike Schmidt in room 333, 717 Delaware Street Building of the CNBD during
office hours. Please contact Mike with any questions at 612-624-9693
or schm0216@umn.edu.
