If you plan to travel to present research between January 15 and April 14, 2012, and you want to apply for support using the GSS Travel Award mechanism, you need to begin your application ASAP. Applications are due to the college by January 10 and you will need to get approval from both your advisor and Dr. Thompson before then. You can find more details and the application here: http://web.utk.edu/~gss/travelfund/index.html. Good luck!
