Financial support

Limited funding is expected to be available to partially support participants. Priority will be given to new researchers and researchers from underrepresented groups. Interested participants should apply through this Financial Support and Contributed Talk application form.

Applicants are required to provide a one-page letter explaining their interest in this conference and its relation to their research and a CV. Applicants are also required to have their advisor send a reference letter (in the case of graduate or postgraduate students), or to have a letter sent by some expert familiar with their work. Reference letters should be emailed to aa249@duke.edu.

Applications for support and contributed talks received by February 8, 2015 will receive full consideration. Funding is not guaranteed.


February 10, 2015: Thank you to all the applicants. We have received an impressive number of highly qualified applications. The financial support application is now closed as the deadline is passed and there is no more funding available.
