U.S. National Committee for the International Union for Quaternary Research Travel Grant Program to the XVI Congress Reno, NV July 23-31, 2003
Under the terms of Master Agreement No. 0239568, the National Academy of Sciences requests funds for Support of Travel to the XVI International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) Congress. The work will be conducted by the U.S. National Committee for the INQUA (USNC/INQUA), a committee of the Board on International Scientific Organizations in the Policy and Global Affairs Division. The objective of this travel grant program is to assist U.S. graduate students in attending the Congress in Reno, NV and to inspire the enthusiasm of U.S. Quaternary students, individually and collectively, by encouraging their substantive face-to-face interaction with the world Quaternary community. This travel grant program of $19,245, will subsidize the travel of approximately 30 U.S. graduate students, and a small amount of staff time to create, receive, and handle travel grant applications; to distribute the awards; and to collect the post-meeting reports.
