The Outreach Core of the WV-INBRE announces the availability of the WV-INBRE Visiting Speaker Award for the Network Outreach Institutions (NOIs). The purpose of this program is to allow an NOI to bring to its campus a speaker from outside the WV-INBRE network to present a research seminar and spend the day with faculty and students. There is one award available for the 2007-08 grant year. At the time the application is submitted, the speaker must have agreed to visit on the day proposed if the award is funded. The Outreach Core will provide a $500 honorarium to the speaker and cover travel, lodging and meal expenses up to $2,000. The application deadline is February 1, 2008. Travel must be completed by April 15, 2008.

If you have any questions or would like any additional information on this opportunity, contact Dr. Mark J. Reasor at mreasor@hsc.wvu.edu or (304) 293-2418.
