Applications are sought from students, post-doctoral researchers, faculty, and investigators at U.S. institutions. Young investigators, students, and members of under represented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Travel support will also be offered to a small number of educators who are actively engaged in presenting information on polar studies in their classrooms.
Successful applicants must present a talk or poster at the symposium and must be enrolled at or employed by a U.S. institution. Selection of applicants for travel grants will be based on relevance of research topic to conference themes, which are listed at: http://www.ipy-osc.no/section/1245938774.04. Priority will be given to students, young scientists, and members of under represented groups. The awards are expected to be in the $1500 to $3000 range with lesser amounts awarded to better-established applicants. All associated air travel must be on US-flagged carriers. Funding has been provided by the National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs.
