AAAS Scientific Travel Awards

Dear Colleague,

AAAS announces the second round of applications for the 2002-2003 Women's International Science Collaboration (WISC) Program.

Supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), this  program aims to increase the participation of women in international scientific research through travel awards to locations around the world.  The awards are to foster new research partnerships between U.S. scientists and colleagues in other  countries.

Applicants must be female, have a female co-principal investigator, or propose a partnership with a female researcher in another country. Potential applicants should review the program guidelines (see URL below) or consult a AAAS administrator for  details.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent research experience.   Graduate students (Ph.D. candidates) are also eligible, if they will  be conducting research in an established Ph.D. program in the U.S.  For further information on fields eligible for funding, please visit  the NSF website at http://www.nsf.gov or contact one of the AAAS administrators listed below.

The next application deadline is July 15, 2002.
