The International Narcotics Research Conference 2009
 

form: 2009 Travel Award application

The organizing committee will consider applications for financial support to the 2009 INRC annual meeting to be held in Portland, OR, USA. Preference will be given to young scientists (postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and scientists less than 10 years past receiving doctorate) presenting at the meeting. The amount will depend on the finances available. In most instances, it should suffice to cover registration and to partially offset living costs and/or travel. Since most of the travel funds will come from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, claims for airfares must be on U.S. carriers whenever. Besides registration voucher, receipts must be provided in amounts to cover the award. When possible, checks will be issued at the Conference.

The INRC grant has received a favorable score from the Review Committee. However, the grant will probably not be funded until after the meeting. Awards to U.S. scientists will be made only when we are certain about the level of funding.

As a result of the generosity of the Japanese International Narcotics Research Conference, funds are available to partially support three Young Investigator Travel Awards to young scientists from the "Rest of the World." At this time, funds have not been obtained for Travel Awards to support young scientists from Europe. However, I encourage any young investigator to send an application to me. If funds are obtained, the applications that have been received by March 1 will be evaluated.
