Graduate Student and Recent PostDoc Travel Support and Conference Presentations

A limited number of travel grants will be available to assist graduate students and recent PhDs in attending the conference and will be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis to applicants expressing relevant research interests. Applications for support should be sent to rtg@unt.edu with the subject line "CONF SUPPORT APP-applicant name" and should include both a c.v. and a statement of research interest. Graduate students should also arrange for at least one faculty advisor to send a letter of recommendation to rtg@unt.edu with the subject line "FAC RECOMMENDATION-applicant name."

There are also a small number of time slots for contributed talks. If you're interested in presenting a contributed talk at the conference, please send your inquiries to rtg@unt.edu with the subject line "TALK INQUIRY-your name" and include a brief proposal or preliminary abstract.
