Hi Biology colleagues, Excited to announce that OUR has some travel award funding available for the Spring 2026 semester. Please note that funds are limited, therefore, we will only be able to support a handful of applications. Applicants who make a strong case and have supportive faculty recommendations will be highly considered. Complete applications (with all components submitted) must be received at least 30 days prior to travel, if not earlier, to be reviewed. For more information on eligibility and how to apply, please visit the website https://www.sandiego.edu/ugresearch/students/travel-awards.php. All guidelines must be followed. This will be announced broadly when Andrea next returns to the office. And no nepotism here; I'm making my own student apply (because I personally don't have any source of funding for them) and recusing myself from evaluating that application! :) Merry Christmas, Cawa -- Cawa Tran, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Biology Director for Undergraduate Research (she/her) Shiley Center for Science and Technology (SCST) University of San Diego 5998 Alcala Park San Diego, CA 92110 Office: SCST 482 | Lab: SCST 453 Phone: (619) 260-4084 Lab website http://usdtranlab.wixsite.com/symbiosis | Faculty profile https://www.sandiego.edu/cas/directory/biography.php?profile_id=13069 Instagram/X/Bluesky: @cawatran Office of Undergraduate Research OUR website https://www.sandiego.edu/ugresearch/ | Maher 252 Instagram: @usdour
