Subj: Travel Support for 2013  Brazil Pollination Biology Course - Call for 
Applications (deadline to apply  is June 15)



Dear All,


Please forward this to any  students who may be interested.  


NSERC-CANPOLIN is pleased  to announce that once again it has funds 
available through  the Strategic  Network Enhancement Initiative to offer travel 
assistance for up to four  students to attend the 2013 International 
Pollination Biology Course in  Brazil.  


Course  Details
Dates:  December 2-14,  2013
Location: Lençóis, Brazil (near _Chapada Diamantina National  Park_ 
(http://wikitravel.org/en/Chapada_Diamantina_National_Park)  in Bahia).


The course website has not  yet been updated but you can read about last 
year's course _here_ 
(http://www.polinizadoresdobrasil.org.br/index.php/en/curso-polinizacao/annoucement)  (the same general format is followed each  
year). Please note that this course is organized by members of the  Brazilian 
Pollination Initiative (not CANPOLIN).  However, four spots  have been 
reserved for CANPOLIN students.  Each student will be  reimbursed up to $2,500 
towards the cost of their travel to Brazil and the  course tuition (which is 
expected to be about $1200 reais or $650  Cdn, this fee also covers room and 
board). 


To apply for a spot on  the course (and travel funding), please email me 
the following information by  June 15, 2013:


1)  Your name.
2)  Your supervisor's name.
3)  When you started and your expected completion date.
4)  The title of your project and type of degree (MSc or PhD).
5)  One paragraph (max 150 words) explaining how your project ties in with  
CANPOLIN's research objectives.  


All  students affiliated with the Network are eligible to apply, but 
priority will  be given to students working directly on CANPOLIN-related projects. 
 


Deadline to respond is  June 15, 2013.


Regards,
Sarah Bates
