In previous years, MPGI has supported 2 Interdisciplinary Fellowships and 2 Research Assistantships, but currently, for the 2008-09 academic year, only travel funds will be available.

• Graduate students and postdoctoral scientists who work in laboratories belonging to MPGI faculty members are eligible to apply for funding up to $500 to help support travel to professional meetings, scientific laboratories, or workshops to learn new techniques, or for the collection of biological materials.

• If funds will be used for travel to a scientific meeting, the applicant MUST BE making a presentation (talk or poster). An application must be received by the appropriate deadline, or it will not be accepted. Reimbursement for past travel will not be allowed.
