Keystone Symposia is offering scholarships to domestic and international students and post-docs this conference season. These scholarships, of up to $1,000 each, are to be used to help defray the expenses associated with conference attendance, including air (on a U.S. air carrier), ground transportation and lodging costs. Receipts will be required to receive reimbursement.

Abstracts submitted for poster presentation will be used as the basis for awarding the scholarships. Scholarship recipients will be selected based on the quality of science of the abstract and the relevance of the abstract to the conference topic. Only one application per abstract is accepted. Only one award per lab will be allocated.

1. Relevance to the meeting topic
2. Significance of the scientific question and results

   • Grammar and spelling
4. Clarity of scientific presentations

   • Sufficient background
   • The experimental approach and rationale for the approach are clear
   • The results are clearly presented
