<p class="MsoNormal">We will be offering up to 40 travel awards. These are intended for young students, undergraduates, graduate students, or postdoctoral researchers prior to their first faculty position. The award amounts are expected to be limited by $800,
$1000, or $1200, depending on distance of the awardee from Irvine. Awardees do not have to have research to present, but those who do will be given the opportunity to present their research with both a ‘flash talk’ advertising the subject matter and a later
poster. Awardees will also be given several opportunities to discuss research in groups of two or three with the colloquium speakers.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;text-decoration:none">Those applying for travel awards should register and pay the registration amount. If you receive a travel award it can be used also to cover registration.
If you do not receive a travel award, the registration fee will be refunded if requested by 4/4/2019. 50% will be refunded if requested after 4/4/2019 and prior to 4/18/2019. We will let you know about your travel award prior to 4/4.</span></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
