I am reposting a message I got from my NemaSym colleagues, Joerg

Dear NSF NemaSym RCN Colleagues,

We write as a reminder of an upcoming deadline and hope we find you and yours well and with fruitful research results in your respective laboratories.

Next Thursday, July 1, 2010, is the application deadline for NSF NemaSym RCN 2010 travel and accomadation packages. Students, postdoctoral associates, and core participants may apply for travel funding to attend NemaSym meetings and workshops. Funding to a maximum of $1,200 (US) will be given to to help defray costs of attendance to the RCN meeting. The funding total is for up to 25 participants. For international core-participants, NemaSym RCN will be able to provide support for expenses incurred in the US, including per diem and accommodations, as well as the US portion of your travel. Participants will be reimbursed in the form of a "stipend" upon attendance at the meeting.
