Travel Awards

The Society for the Neurobiology of Language (SNL) confers between 20 and 25 Travel Awards to help cover travel and registration costs for the Annual Meeting. Through the travel awards, SNL aims to encourage and foster the participation of junior scientists who are members of underrepresented groups as defined by the National Institutes of Health.

Priority is given to individuals who fall into one of the underrepresented groups as defined by the National Institutes of Health. This includes: 1) Individuals from racial and ethnic groups that have been shown by the National Science Foundation to be underrepresented in health-related sciences, and 2) Individuals with disabilities, who are defined as those with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, as described in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. Note that women are not considered an underrepresented minority for this particular award.
