Minneapolis 2006 Grant

Dear Clinical Research Professional:

Would you like to attend the Fall CIBMTR/NMDP Clinical Research Professionals’ Data Management Conference in Minneapolis, November 8-10, 2006, but are limited by the cost?

If so, your team/institution may qualify for a $600 grant from the CIBMTR to help defray your travel, lodging and registration expenses associated with attending this year’s conference.

Grant recipients should be clinical research professionals/data managers (or the equivalent) from an active CIBMTR or NMDP participating team. A maximum of one grant per team/institution will be awarded.

Eligible recipients may not have received funding for attending data management conferences from either the CIBMTR or NMDP in the past three years.
Teams/institutions which sent a representative to the 2006 Data Management Conference in Honolulu this past February are excluded from eligibility, as the 2006 Fall Conference will cover essentially the same information.
Priority will be given on a first-come, first-served basis.

All Conference attendees (and grant recipients) must be registered for the conference. If you have not already registered online, please go to www.cibmtr.org and click on the link for the 2006 Fall Data Management Conference.

Your reimbursement will not exceed $600, and will be equal to the sum amount of approved travel expenses. You will receive a check made payable to your institution (checks cannot be made payable to individuals) within 2-3 weeks after receipt of a completed Travel Expense Report and Invoice (see below). This grant is not transferable without pre-approval. If, for some reason, plans have changed and you cannot use the travel grant, please respond to this email as soon as possible.

Please complete the application form and return it to D’Etta Waldoch, CMP at the CIBMTR by email: dettawaldoch@cs.com or by fax: 262-827-4997. Grant recipients will be notified by Monday, October 23.


WHAT TO DO AFTER THE CONFERENCE TO RECEIVE YOUR $600 CHECK:
A Travel Expense Form (TER) and additional details regarding reimbursement will be provided when you pick up your meeting registration materials on-site at the Hilton Minneapolis Hotel. To receive the $600 reimbursement check, which will be made payable to your institution, you must submit the completed TER and an invoice from your institution made out to CIBMTR/Medical College of Wisconsin to Patty Vespalec at the CIBMTR in Milwaukee, no later than November 30, 2006.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at: dettawaldoch@cs.com
We look forward to seeing you in Minneapolis!
