A limited number of travel grants will be available this year, allowing individuals from developing nations to participate in the ISTSS 17th Annual Meeting, December 6-9 in New Orleans, La.

The travel grants are supported by voluntary contributions from ISTSS members. Grants will be awarded by the ISTSS Executive Committee and will be based on written applications received before July 15.

Applications must be made by an ISTSS member, but members may apply on behalf of individuals who are not members of the society. Application forms should include a description of the grant recipient's work and experience, as well as a statement of need and estimated expenses to travel to the meeting in New Orleans.

Applications can be downloaded from the ISTSS Web site at www.istss.org and sent to:
ISTSS Conference Travel Grant, 60 Revere Drive, Suite 500, Northbrook, IL 60062 USA, or e-mail: sallen@istss.org.
