SRCD Call for applications for Jacobs Foundation Travel Awards to Further the Research Careers of Junior Investigators
SRCD announces a program of travel awards for young investigators to allow them to visit the labs of more senior scholars in fields relevant to their research interests. The purpose of such visits could include, for example: to learn a new research area, to visit a scholar in a different discipline, to learn new measures or methods, to become acquainted with a different cultural tradition. It is up to the applicant to arrange the visit. Applications consist of the plan for the visit, its rationale or contribution to the research of the applicant, and a budget. A statement describing this plan of not more than 1000 words and a letter of support/agreement from the host should constitute the application.
We anticipate making 6-10 awards between $1000 and $2500. Costs may include round trip air fare, ground transportation, hotel, and meals. Given these funding constraints, we envision visits of 2-3 days duration. A justification for all costs and the length of the visit is required. Applications are due by November 30, 2009 and decisions will be communicated by January 15, 2010. Applications should be submitted to
