TRAVEL FUNDS for MG IX
for US SCIENTISTS

Dear Gravitational Researcher,

We at the University of Oregon have applied for an NSF grant to fund travel
to MG IX in Rome, Italy, this July 2-8. While the grant has not been
approved, there is a reasonable chance that it will be. People who wish to
apply for these funds should fill out the application form below, and send
it (before 15 March) to

asburry@math.uoregon.edu

Gayle Asburry
Dept of Math
University of Oregon
Eugene, Or 97403

Note the following:
1) A US scientist is one who generally works in the US. Nationality

    is not relevant.
2) The funds can only be used to cover transportation to and from
    Rome.  Housing and registration costs must be met otherwise.
3) US carriers, if available, must be used. (You are advised to
    consider making airline reservations as soon as possible to secure a
    good fare)
4) The selection of the people to receive travel support will be
    made by a panel of experienced US scientists (both theorists
    and experimentalists), based on the information on the returned
    application forms.  Preference will be given to those with NSF
    grants and those with no federal research support.

Please disseminate this information to your colleagues.

Sincerely yours
Jim Isenberg
