Congratulations 2009 Endowment Awardees!
Apply Now for 25 Endowment Fund Awards Available for 2010
At the SOT 2009 Annual Meeting, 22 individuals (mostly students and postdocs) received awards from 12 Permanently Restricted Specific Purpose Endowment Funds. The SOT Endowment Board is pleased to announce that 25 Endowment Funds are available to provide awards at the SOT 2010 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City. Most of the awards are selected by Specialty Sections and Special Interest Groups based on the scientific merit of submitted abstracts and provide stipends for travel to the meeting.
It’s not too late to apply for most of these awards, and it’s never too late to contribute to the SOT Endowment Fund of your choice to help sponsor future awards! Further, we challenge you to help create new awards to assist in areas not yet addressed.
