CHANS Fellowship
With support from the National Science Foundation, CHANS-Net offers CHANS Fellowships each year. The CHANS Fellows present posters or give talks at a prominent national meeting and have opportunities to interact with prominent CHANS scientists to learn the latest research developments and build their professional networks.
Approximately 10 fellowships (up to $1,000 each) are awarded to the selected graduate students, postdoctoral associates, junior faculty members and/or other junior researchers at other institutions around the world to defray expenses associated with attending the meeting. Applications are judged on the merits of the applicants' abstracts, financial need, and professional backgrounds and goals. Members of under-represented groups were especially encouraged to apply.
