The grant will cover travel, lodging, and most meals during the conference for the graduate students and post-docs. This conference was previously held in 2009, 2011, and 2013 but limited to graduate students in CER. I am pleased to note that the 2017 Conference will include opportunities for CER post-docs to participate. You can learn more about the previous conferences at the link above. Priority will be given to applications received by April 10, 2017. The conferences in 2009, 2011, & 2013 filled to capacity and resulted in applicants being placed on wait lists. Not all students on the wait lists were able to be accommodated, so students are urged to apply by the priority deadline. Please feel free to forward this message to graduate students and postdocs engaged in chemistry education research who may not be subscribed to this listserv.
