Nomination deadline: TBD

Award: Student registration fees and up to three nights hotel accommodations. Students selected for the award who reside less than 25 miles from the conference site will only receive free registration for the conference. Awarded hotel accommodations could be used in double occupancy, to further benefit the awardee’s research group.

Eligibility Criteria: The nominee must be a full-time graduate or postdoctoral student or former graduate student who graduated in the previous year.
