Aquaculture Species Group: Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Fellowship Bursaries for PAGXVI
The Aquaculture Species Group is pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of Travel Bursaries, of up to $1,000, to support the attendance of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at PAGXVI. Every graduate student and postdoctoral fellow who registers for the PAGXVI meeting and submits an Abstract to the Aquaculture Workshop is eligible for consideration. Applications should be submitted by E-mail to Geoff Waldbieser (Geoff.Waldbieser@msa-stoneville.ars.usda.gov) and include the following items. A) the Title and Authors of the submitted Abstract, B) a statement of the anticipated costs for the applicant to attend the PAGXVI meeting, and a statement of additional resources (if any) that will be available to support their attendance. Applicants MUST also arrange for their supervisor to send an E-mail Geoff Waldbieser confirming their status as a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow.
