Subject: NSF grants to attend MG11
X-Archive: conference

I will apply for an NSF grant to fund travel of US researchers to the
11th.  Marcel Grossman meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia.

  http://www.icra.it/MG/mg11/

While it will be quite a while before we hear if the grant will be
funded, previous history suggests that there is a reasonable chance
that some funding will be available.

People who wish to apply for these funds should fill out the
application form below, and send it (preferrably by email to
the address listed below) before November 15th.

Note the following:

1) For the purpose of this grant, a "US researcher" is one who
generally works in the US. Nationality is not relevant.

2) US carriers, if available, must be used, as requested by the
Fly American Act and National Science Foundation rules if one
is claiming reimbursement of airfare.

3) The selection of the people to receive travel support will be made
by a panel of experienced US scientists (both theorists and
experimentalists), based in part on the information on the returned
application forms.  Preference will be given to those with NSF grants
and those with no federal research support. We will announce results
after December 1st, but final confirmation of availability of funds
is not expected till mid March (in an informal way) and even later
formally.


Please disseminate this information to your colleagues.

Thanks

Jorge Pullin
