Message for the Nomination of "Gary McCartor Fellowship Award" with the new extended deadline August 15, 2024<br>
<br>
We invite you to nominate a young researcher for the "Gary McCartor Fellowship Award".<br>
The Gary McCartor Fund, honoring Gary's scientific and professional leadership, was established in 2008 owing to a generous donation by Gary's wife, Sheila McCartor, and donations by Gary's personal friends and colleagues. The fund continues to support young
scientists due to regular support from these friends and colleagues as well as from the many institutions sponsoring Light Cone meetings.<br>
<br>
Gary was particularly keen to see that young researchers had opportunities to participate in forefront research in our field. Accordingly, ILCAC plans to award a young researcher(s) who works in the field defined by the mission statement<br>
