Travel Fellowships to RNA 2012
RNA 2012 will be held from May 29th through June 3rd in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
As in past years, the RNA Society has funds available to provide travel fellowships in support of researchers who otherwise would not be able to attend the meeting for financial reasons. This year we have budgeted $30,000 for this purpose, but we are also soliciting additional support from corporate sponsors, so more funds may be available later. In most cases the fellowships will be made in the form of reduced or waived registration fees, although it is possible that some contribution toward travel costs could be made in addition to the fee waiver. Travel reimbursement, if awarded, will be presented in the form of a check from the RNA Society either during or after the close of the conference (keep your travel receipts; they will be required to receive reimbursement!).
Please note:
Previous awardees are not eligible to receive a fellowship. No more than one fellowship per research group will be granted. Fellowships are restricted to RNA Society members. Abstracts submitted with the travel fellowship application will NOT be entered into the conference registration system. You will need to make a separate conference registration, followed by a separate abstract submission once you have registered for the conference.
The application deadline for travel fellowships is February 29th. The conference organizers will review your request, and decisions will be communicated by email no later than March 7th. Registration and abstracts must then be submitted by March 11th to be considered for an oral presentation, or by March 31st to meet the poster-only early registration deadline.
Questions can be addressed to travel@rnasociety.org.

Jordan Fieldman, MD, Award
Deadline: April 2012
The Jordan Fieldman MD, Joint AMA Foundation and AMA Resident and Fellow Section Award was established in the name of a very distinguished colleague of ours whose time in this world was all too short. Dr. Jordan Fieldman was an outstanding physician and deeply concerned with helping his patients and making the world of medicine a better place. He was a strong advocate for what he believed in and was a strong force within the AMA-RFS assembly. Unfortunately, Jordan lost his battle with a brain tumor in June 2005 and can no longer be with us. We hope that by establishing this award, we can continue to create physicians like Dr. Fieldman and give them the skills and means to do so.
The Jordan Fieldman, MD, Award will be presented annually to two residents or fellows who have shown leadership or a strong interest in advocacy issues. The award money will cover travel and necessary expenses to travel and attend the Annual or Interim meeting during the year of the award. This award will give a young doctor an opportunity that he or she may otherwise never be able to experience. We feel that by attending meetings, awardees will become more aware of important medical and patient care issues and will be more able to advocate for what is important to your patients and the medical field at large. This award is open to both AMA and non-AMA members.
The Awardee must be:
- A first time attendee to the AMA-RFS Meetings - From a state or district that does not have funding available to support resident or fellow travel to attend the AMA-RFS Meetings - Interested and active in patient, physician or health care advocacy efforts
The Awardee must:
- submit the application along with a current curriculum vitae and (1) letter of recommendation in support of your application - Submit 2 short essays (each less than 300 words) describing (1) your interest in advocacy and previous advocacy efforts as well as (2) your reasons for wishing to attend the AMA-RFS Meetings - submit all application materials prior to posted deadline
Award winners will be chosen by the AMA-RFS Governing Counci and will be notified within 30 days following the application deadline. For more information please contact the AMA-RFS at rfs@ama-assn.org or (312) 464-4978.
