CRA-W/CDC is providing funding for travel awards to students and postdocs
Eligibility: travel funding is available for students/postdocs who are US citizens or permanent residents. We expect most of the students accepted will be graduate students, but undergraduates and postdoc are also welcome to apply.
Selection Criteria: priority will be given to women, other members of underrepresented groups (Hispanics, African American, and Native American), authors of accepted submissions, and students who do not have access to mentoring networks at their home institutions.
Funding: awards will provide ~$1,000 for conference registration, travel and lodging expenses. The awards will be given in form of reimbursement after the conference. We expect to make 12-15 awards.
Applications: to apply fill out the form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfw8DUzLWN__poaWIScXTrDzEGlXlvU9AZOiPZx90YkraJnfw/viewform?c=0&w=1&usp=mail_form_link
by December 12, 2016. Applications submitted after the deadline will be considered as long as there is funding available. We expect to make all decisions by December 19 since the early registration rate for AAAI is December 20.
