Dear JLab collaborators, <br>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> <br>
JSA has notified us of the award of $18,000 from the FY2014
Initiatives Fund Program to continue to provide travel support
for graduate students and post-docs working in the four Halls
and in the Theory Group to present their results at national and
international conferences and workshops. The Junior Scientist
Travel Support project has been funded by JSA since FY2009. The
JSA Initiatives Fund Program is a commitment from the JSA owners
to support programs, initiatives, and activities that further
the scientific outreach, and promote the science, education and
technology missions of Jefferson Lab and benefit the Lab user
community.<br>
<br>
The travel funds will enable more of our junior colleagues to
receive the recognition they deserve for their hard work and
will help them improve their communication skills and reputation
as they seek their next jobs. The JSA funds will cover up to 50%
of the travel cost. The traveler is expected to find grant or
other support for the remaining 50% or more. The Travel Fund
Committee has been confirmed (M.Battaglieri-Chair, D.Dutta, and
D.Higinbotham) with the duty of administering travel requests.
Eligible researchers are students (undergraduate and PhD) and
post-doc's who are not receiving other JSA Initiatives Fund
support (e.g., graduate fellowships, JSA research grants) and
who are not Lab staff members.<br>
<br>
Advisors/supervisors should visit the web page at <a

href="http://www.jsallc.org/IF/IndexJSTF.html">http://www.jsallc.org/IF/IndexJSTF.html</a>,
complete the required form, and send requests for matching money
(up to $400-500 or $800-1000 for local or abroad venues
respectively) to the Travel Fund Committee chair (Marco
Battaglieri <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:battagli@jlab.org">battagli@jlab.org</a>)
addressing what and where the young scientists will be
presenting their results, the scientific potential of the
student, and a statement of commitment to pay for balance of the
travel costs. The simple participation to workshops and
conferences will also be considered.<br>
<br>
The Committee will examine applications and reply to requests in
a timely manner. Applications can be submitted anytime. For any
questions or further information send a message to <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:battagli@jlab.org">battagli@jlab.org</a>.<br>
<br>
Sincerely, <br>
Marco Battaglieri (chair) <br>
