International Conference on Reliability and Survival Analysis 2003

The National Science Foundation is providing funding to partially support approximately 20 graduate students/new researchers to participate in the Conference. Up to $350 per individual can be awarded for partial reimbursement of local lodging and meals and/or travel costs, in addition to the Conference registration fee.

To be eligible for the partial support, the student/new researcher is expected to contribute a poster presentation on a relevant topic in a poster session at the Conference. To be considered for such support, the following information must be submitted to the Conference Program Co-Chairs by November 15, 2002:

1. Name

2. Institution, degree and date expected or received

3. Visa status, if not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (required to determine eligibility to receive reimbursements)

4. Title and abstract of contributed paper for poster session presentation

5. A letter from major professor endorsing the student's attendance and poster presentation (for current graduate students)

Submit this information either by e-mail (to pena@stat.sc.edu or padgett@stat.sc.edu) or by mail to:
