Financial support for students who attend both the MSB symposium and Moss2003 is available through funding by the Deep Gene RCN network, with the support of the National Science Foundation (Grant DEB-0090227).

"Deep Gene" is a research coordination network funded by the US NSF to develop links between plant phylogenetics and plant genomics.B B The two St. Louis meetings together will provide a unique linkage between these fields.B B Students (defined broadly to include undergraduates, graduates, and postdoctoral fellows), can receive up to $500 travel awards to attend these back-to-back meetings (on a reimbursement basis requiring original receipts; note that due to NSF regulations you must fly US-owned airlines to get reimbursed).

To apply, please send the following to Dr. Brent Mishler bmishler@socrates.berkeley.edu (electronic submissions only) by June 15th, 2003: a one-page description of your background, research interests & plans, and have your major professor email a very brief (few sentence) endorsement of your application and need for the financial support.
