TRAVEL AWARDS FOR TRAINEES AND FELLOWS:

In order to promote the interest of young scientists in the field of inherited metabolic disorders, we offer a reduced registration fee for trainees and fellows.

All abstracts are to be submitted on line through the SIMD website. There is no limit on the number of abstracts an individual may submit; however an individual must be first author on only one abstract. This year we will be offering 12 travel awards in the amount of $1,000. Travel awards are available for students and trainees at any level (doctoral, post-doctoral, resident, , fellow, etc.). A limited number of travel awards are also available for junior faculty (instructor or assistant professor or equivalent level, within 5 years of beginning your first faculty position). Individuals who wish to compete for these awards must submit an abstract (on-line), and also have a letter from a sponsor sent to Leslie Lublink via email (leslie.lublink@gmail.com) or fax (503-210-1511) when the abstract is submitted. The support letter for junior faculty should affirm that the applicant is within the first five years of a faculty rank. Trainee travel award recipients are automatically considered for the Founder's Award competition at the meeting.

If your abstract is accepted for a travel award you will either be selected to give a 10 min oral presentation on Sunday, April 7th or present a poster which will be on displayed the entire meeting. Abstracts for travel awards are due by November 10th, 2018. You will be notified by November 28th, 2018 if your abstract has been selected for a travel award. If you are not selected for a travel award you will still have the option to present a poster at the meeting.

Abstracts for poster presentation are due by November 2528, 2019 (aside from abstracts for Travel Awards, which are due earlier). Confirmation of submission, acceptance and/or rejection will be communicated via email by January 5, 2019.

The abstracts are to be submitted electronically (See instructions for abstract submission-- When you are entering the abstract, select the radio button for Travel Award.) NOTE: DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS FOR TRAVEL AWARDS IS EARLIER THAN FOR REGULAR ABSTRACTS. (See instructions for abstract submission).
