Win a $1000 travel award!  Applications accepted until April 16, 2007 at http://felcom.nih.gov/FARE.  Twenty five percent of all applicants will win a travel award!

The fourteenth annual Fellows Award for Research Excellence (FARE) 2008 competition will again provide recognition for outstanding scientific research performed by intramural postdoctoral fellows.  FARE winners will each receive a $1,000 travel award to use for attending and presenting their work at a scientific meeting (NHLBI fellows will be compensated by a different mechanism; please contact the NHLBI Felcom representative for more information). Twenty five percent of the fellows who apply will win an award.

FARE applicants must submit an abstract of their research, which will be evaluated anonymously on scientific merit, originality, experimental design and overall quality/presentation. The travel award must be used between Oct. 1, 2007 and Sept. 30, 2008.

The FARE 2008 competition is open to postdoctoral IRTAs, visiting fellows and other fellows with fewer than 5 years total postdoctoral experience in the NIH intramural research program. In addition, pre-IRTAs performing their doctoral dissertation research at NIH are also eligible to compete. Visiting fellows/scientists must not have been tenured at their home institute. Questions about eligibility should be addressed to your institute's scientific director.

Submit your application online, including abstract, from March 12 through April 16, 2007 via http://felcom.nih.gov/FARE.

Winners will be announced by the end of September 2007. More information is available on the above mentioned web site. Questions may be addressed to your institute's Fellows Committee (Felcom) representative.
