Also, please provide your home or email address for acknowledgment for tax purposes. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization and thus all donations are tax-deductable.
ALSO, PLEASE WRITE to Akira Ono, who maintains this webpage, akiraono@umich.edu, so we can list your contribution on the Our supporters page, to help inspire other generous members of our community to give.
If you are an "ordinary PI" interested in supporting this effort, a $50 or $100 contribution is suggested; less would be fine and appreciated if you are feeling cash strapped. If you knew Andy well or for other reasons wish to perpetuate this award, a somewhat larger contribution is indicated. If you feel strongly that you would like to keep retrovirology vibrant by supporting and encouraging the best young minds as they make career choices, and if you wish to see this award become a permanent feature of the CSH Retroviruses meeting, then $500 or more is appropriate.
