Sept. 15 is the deadline for submitting applications for grants for meetings to be held between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2004. To apply for an award, submit a résumé and an official application form along with an abstract of the work to be presented and a letter detailing the reasons--both scientific and financial--you want the award and specifying whether you have made a previous presentation at a major meeting. A letter from your adviser confirming your participation in the meeting is also required.
