We are pleased to announce that the NIH’s Office of AIDS Research has provided expanded support for a Young Investigator Scholarship Program at this year’s meeting. The Scientific Program Committee will provide a limited number of young investigator awards for early career scientists. AWARD There are two types of awards available for young investigators: registration waivers and full scholarships. Although the total number of awards has not yet been determined, please be aware that we will be able to accommodate more registration waivers than full scholarships. You will need to specify whether you are a more suitable candidate for the registration waiver or the full scholarship. Registration waiver: For this award, the registration fee will be waived for the young investigator. The recipient will still be responsible for all other costs associated with travel to/from San Juan and attending the meeting. Full scholarship: This award includes transportation to/from San Juan (economy airfare fare prepaid by the conference up to $800, or reimbursed mileage), waiver of the conference registration fee, and three nights of hotel accommodations. Scholarship recipients will be responsible for incidental costs (meals, local transportation, etc.) incurred during the meeting. ELIGIBILITY Applicants must be the presenting author on an abstract accepted at the conference and commit to attend full meeting. Scientists who are younger than 35 years of age as of December 1, 2008 are eligible. Special consideration will be given to young scientists from Puerto Rico, as we want to ensure that local participants are able to benefit from the intellectual environment of the meeting.
