Latin American Travel Award
The Latin American Travel Awards are intended to encourage greater participation of Latin American researchers in ABS meetings, by helping to defray the costs of international travel, housing and/or meals at meetings.
Given the eligibility criteria below, priority will be given to Ph.D. students who are attending an ABS meeting for the first time and who have not received a Latin American Travel Award in previous years. Award values vary according to funds available. Candidates are prioritized according to the quality of their abstracts and CVs, which should be sent to current 2nd Member at Large.
Eligibility: Latin American Travel Awards are restricted to Latin American graduate students enrolled in programs in Latin American institutions, who will be presenting a talk/poster at the annual ABS meeting.Once you have successfully submitted an abstract for your talk or poster via the ABS annual meeting web page, email the current 2nd ABS Member at large your submitted abstract, including the title, and your curriculum vita (CV), each attached to the email message as a separate pdf file, and each labeled with your last name, your initials, and the contents of each file, i.e. abstract or CV
Checks in the amount of the award will be sent directly to recipients following announcement of the results
