Applications open for Latin America Regional Funding: Short Stays and Travel Grants

SHORT STAYS

IBRO’s Latin America Regional Committee (LARC) will evaluate applications for funding (up to 1200 euros) for short research/training lab visits within the Latin American region to take place between January 1st and June 30th, 2015. Applications must be submitted on-line. Applications by e-mail will not be accepted.

Candidates should not be older than 40 years. Priority will be given to doctoral students and postdocs who wish to attend a foreign lab within the region and who plan to link their lab stay with attendance to a course or congress. When the short lab stay is linked to attendance to a course or congress, an application for a LARC Travel Grant must also be submitted.  Applications for activities within the applicant’s own country will be considered only if adequately justified.  Applicants must supply an activity plan, a letter of support from their director – specifically for the proposed activities – and a letter of acceptance from the host institution.
