Society for the Study of Reproduction Larry Ewing Memorial Trainee Travel Fund
The Larry Ewing Memorial Trainee Travel Fund was established by the Society for the Study of Reproduction in honor of the late Dr. Larry Ewing, who was an ardent supporter of SSR’s commitment to trainees. The Fund is intended to provide travel assistance for Trainee Members of the Society to attend and present their research results at the Society's Annual Meeting. It is administered by the Trainee Affairs Committee, and is supported by donations, by a grant from the NIH/NICHD, and by the sale of commemorative t-shirts at each meeting. Any Trainee member of the Society who is presenting an abstract at the Society's Annual Meeting may request travel assistance. Funding is intended for trainees who are active in research but have limited funds. Grants are considered a reimbursement of meeting expenses. Trainees should preregister for the annual meeting before submitting an application for a travel grant.
To be a qualified applicant, you must be
1. a trainee member of SSR (paid up by 15 March 2010, the deadline for submission of abstracts), and
2. the presenter of an accepted abstract at the Annual Meeting.
The application must be accompanied by a photocopy of the SSR abstract acceptance notification. Applicants are encouraged to fax applications. Applications for LEMTTF funds must be received by 1 June 2010; please allow one week to receive confirmation of receipt before refaxing the application.
