SSB is pleased to announce the availability of awards for scholars from developing countries to attend workshops and courses in systematics, or to visit a molecular lab for training. The emphasis of this program is the transfer of knowledge to the scholar's home country. This means that the student should currently be in their home country, or have definite plans to return in the near future. Courses such as the Molecular Evolution Workshop at Woods Hole and the applied Systematics Course at Bodega Bay are examples of courses that are appropriate for this funding, in addition to other equivalent opportunities. Support for attending a course will be contingent on admission to the course through the normal admissions process.
A complete application includes:
- a justification of the course or planned visit, and a description of how this will provide appropriate training (1 page max).
- a letter detailing how the knowledge acquired will be transferred to the country of the scholar's origin (1 page max)
- applicant's CV
The entire application should be no more than two pages long, not including the curriculum vitae. Application deadline is March 31 of each year.
Requests should be sent by e-mail to Dr. Kelly R. Zamudio, SSB Award Committee Chair, Cornell University, at krz2@cornell.edu. If possible, applicants are encouraged to use pdf format for all documents.
