Support for young researchers

We have received NSF funding to support a limited number of young researchers who present a paper (students and recipients of PhD degrees after October 5, 2010). As per the grant proposal, preference will be given to women and minority participants from this group. If you wish to apply for this award, please send your request along with your registration form directly to Professor Sat Gupta by email at sngupta@uncg.edu. The deadline is July 31, 2012 but we will start offering these awards right away. So, send in your application as soon as possible.

Your aplication package must include the following:
