Young Researcher Travel Grant (FOCAPO & CPC, 8-13 January 2012)

The organizers of FOCAPO and CPC have secured funds from the National 
Science Foundation and a number of US industries to support the 
participation of young researchers (graduate students, post-doctoral 
fellows and assistant or associate professors) from US institutions. These 
travel grant funds will cover five (5) nights of lodging at the conference 
hotel (Westin Savannah Harbor) for the full FOCAPO/CPC conference. 
It is anticipated that about 30 graduate students/post-docs and 15 
assistant/associate professors can be awarded travel grants. If the number 
of applicants exceeds the target, the selection will be made 
competitively; priority will be given to those planning on participating 
in both conferences. Priority will be given to young researchers making a 
presentation at FOCAPO and/or CPC.
