U.S. Researchers Can Apply for Travel Funds, SCAR Open Science Conference, Portland, Oregon, July 16-19, 2012
The NSF Office of Polar Programs is providing funds to support participation of U.S. scientists in the 5th biennial SCAR Open Science Conference (meeting website: http://scar2012.geol.pdx.edu/). The Open Science Conference is an international and interdisciplinary meeting that brings together scientists of all ages from around the world with interests in Antarctica and the southern ocean. Funds are intended primarily to support early-career researchers, graduate students and individuals who would increase the diversity of the polar science community. Current OPP Investigators with meeting travel funds included in their awards are not eligible for this travel support.
