We anticipate to offer travel support to 50 junior faculty from HBCU/MEI institutions, and if additional funds are available, we will consider faculty from other under-represented groups. This fellowship will be used to cover their travel expenses. The selection process will be first-come-first-serve with preferences given to those from HBCU/MEI and each organization may receive up to two fellowships. Based on the criteria mentioned above and availability of funds, if you are selected to receive a travel fellowship, you will receive a notification from the organizers before the end of March 2016.
