Funds for UK PhD students to attend the Cochlear Implant conference at Asilomar, CA

[Stuart Rosen <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As was done in 1999 and 2001, Defeating Deafness (a UK charity) has agreed
to provide some support for a small number of Ph.D. students to attend the
2003 Conference on Implantable Auditory Prostheses:
(Asilomar, California; 17-22 August,
http://www.iupui.edu/~iuoto/asilomar/asilomar.html).
A total of #2000 is available, which will be split among 2-4 candidates.
Clearly, the amount available will not cover the total expenses, but should
provide an important supplement to other funding.

Those eligible to apply are Ph.D. students and recent post-doctoral students
at UK institutions. Preference will be given to candidates involved in
cochlear implant research or attached to a cochlear implant programme.
Please send applications to me by email on or before 16 June. A decision
will be made by 23 June. They should include a brief CV, a statement of
research interests, a statement of the potential benefits of attending the
conference, and a supporting letter from the supervisor or current "boss".
It is a condition of the funding that a brief report be sent to Defeating
Deafness after the conference.

If you are considering applying, I would appreciate a short message right
away so I can gauge the demand.

Please forward this message to anyone you think might be interested.
