Announcement for the National Post Doctoral Association's National Summit on Gender and the Postdoctorate, November 18th, 2009

The National Post Doctoral Association is hosting a summit for Post Doctoral students with travel grants. Information is found here. Found on the webpage eligibility, application process, and how to ask for more information.

"Postdocs are especially encouraged to attend the Summit on Gender and the Postdoctorate, and are invited to apply for a travel award to help cover their travel expenses. Travel awards of up to $750 per person are available to cover registration, lodging, conference meals, and travel to the meeting. We anticipate awarding approximately 30 awards. Travel grant recipients are encouraged to consider staying for the NPA Annual Meeting, although travel grant funds may only be used to cover expenses associated with the Summit."

New Map and Links on ADVANCE Portal, August 26th, 2009

At the NSF JAM in June one of the people who kindly participated in evaluating the portal gave a spark of an idea. What if you could see all of the ADVANCE grants on a a huge map and then be able to see more details about the programs from the map. We listened. A couple of months later and we have launched a functional map of all of the ADVANCE grant recipients. Each type of grant is a different colored push pin. As you hover over the push pin information about the grant recipient is appears. From the pop-up you can click to contact the PI, go to a webpage with perhaps more recent information, go to a website if one is available, and ::drum roll:: click to be taken to a webpage of all of the resources from that institution currently available on the portal. Don't take our word for it, check it out for yourself. The link is on the bar at the top of every webpage -- called "MAP".

If that wasn't amazing enough, we have recently added all of the materials available on the PAID institution's webpages.
