The Postdoctoral Association of Colorado (PAC) has exciting news for all postdoctoral researchers at CU Boulder, and the national laboratories associated with CU Boulder.
Starting May 1st, PAC will be providing travel awards to postdocs to attend conferences. The award is to assist with registration fees, lodging, airfare costs, and/or food. The first set of awards will be $300 each for 4 postdoctoral researchers for any conference occuring between May through October 2018.
After this time, PAC will be offering two $200 awards, once every four months (entries will be due January, May, and September) to cover conferences occurring either March through June, July through October, or November through February.
In order to be eligible for this award, you will need to answer two questions in 200 words or less:
- What are you presenting at the conference?
- How will attending this conference benefit your career?
Along with this, you will need to provide proof that you have submitted an abstract to the conference you will want to attend. These answers will be evaluated by a PAC committee, as well as two faculty members, to determine the recipients of the travel awards.
Be on the look-out for the emails that will provide you more information and the website to submit your application.
