Travel Fellowship Application  

Travel Fellowship Application Closed

RECOMB is pleased to announce funding opportunities for students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the RECOMB 2004 conference in San Diego, California.

IMPORTANT NOTE, PLEASE READ: Due to concerns from several applicants regarding the ability to cancel registration if not accepted for a travel fellowship, the following policy change has been made:

Applicants who have applied for a travel fellowship and registered for RECOMB 2004 prior to 11:59pm PST January 21, 2004, will be allowed to cancel their registration with no penalty if not selected to receive a travel fellowship.

Applicants who apply for a travel fellowship after January 21, 2004, are not required to register for the RECOMB 2004 conference until acceptance notices are sent out February 12, 2004. At that time, recipients of travel fellowships will be given 15 days to register for the RECOMB 2004 conference (please note early discount registration deadline is February 15). Failure to register by February 27, 2004, will result in forfeiture of travel fellowship awards. This ensures that successful applicants will receive the discounted early registration fee, while not penalizing unsuccessful applicants who are then unable to attend the conference due to lack of funding.

Applicants who register for RECOMB 2004 and apply for a travel fellowship after January 21, 2004, will be governed by the standard RECOMB 2004 cancellation policy as stated on the registration page at http://recomb04.sdsc.edu
