DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks funds to provide merit-based awards for undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students attending MGED9 (Seattle, Washington, September 2006) and MGED10 (Brisbane, Australia, August 2007) Meetings. These conferences are organized by the Microarray Gene Expression Database (MGED) Society and have convened every year since 1999 at sites in North America, Europe and Asia. Eligible candidates for the MGED Student Scholarship will be undergraduate, graduate students or post-graduate fellows who are presenting authors of abstracts submitted by the submission deadlines of July 1, 2006 (for MGED9) or June 1, 2007 (for MGED10). Students will identify themselves while using the on-line registration form at the MGED meeting website (http://mgedmeeting.org). All student abstracts will be judged by a review committee to identify the most meritorious candidates. Students and their advisors will be notified of the receipt of the award prior to August 1, 2006 (for MGED9) or July 1, 2006 (for MGED10). Awards are planned to be $500 per recipient for MGED9 and $750 per recipient for MGED10 (due to the anticipation that average travel costs to Brisbane, Australia will be higher than to Seattle, Washington). Biomedical research is rapidly evolving largely due to the application of highthroughput technologies. MGED meetings, hosted by the Microarray Gene Expression Data Society, facilitate the understanding, sharing and use of such large-scale biomedical data sets to further biomedical knowledge. The student stipends proposed in this application will encourage and increase the participation of undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students at MGED meetings and thereby help train the next generation of biomedical researchers to take full advantage of new and emerging technologies.
