A maximum of $1,500 per travel awardis normally allowed. Funds were to be used for travel expenses, lodging, meals, registration, and otherjustifiable expenses. So that funds from the current grant year can be used to support the request, thetravel was to be completed before April 15, 2011. There are no fixed deadlines; applications are consideredas they are received. The highest priority are given to faculty members and students who would bepresenting biomedical research they have conducted during the WV-INBRE summer research program orat their home institutions. Students can be supported to attend meetings with their summer or institutionalmentor. No funds can be spent to support the summer mentors' travel. Travel to meetings by faculty andstudents who would not be presenting research, but anticipate that attendance will enhance theireducational or profession development or is beneficial to the WV-INBRE would be considered if requested.Meetings centered on biomedical research receive priority. Other meetings, if adequately justified, would beconsidered for awards.SUBPROJECT PROGRESSThis year we supported travel for PUI faculty and students to present results ofWV-INBRE-sponsored research at national meetings from the following institutions: Dr. Kaushaland two students, University of Charleston, $2,955; one student, Bluefield State College, $1,113.PROTECTION AGAINST RESEARCH RISKSN 1.
