Junior Scientist Travel Support

Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) continues to support the Junior Scientist Travel Support Program, a JSA Initiatives Fund program. This program helps to support the travel for young researchers to present the results of Jefferson Lab research at national and international conferences and workshops that aren’t already receiving JSA funds for travel. The awards are open to all students and postdocs from experimental nuclear physics, theory, accelerator science, computer science, etc.

To be considered for a travel grant, advisors or supervisors should complete the request form and submit it to Jennifer Finch (finch@jlab.org). Travel support funds may cover up to $500 or $1000 for local or international venues respectively, up to a max of ~$1000 per research group. In addition to information about where the young scientists will be presenting their results, advisors or supervisors should provide a clear statement of the scientific potential of the student or postdoc, and include a commitment to pay for balance of the travel costs.

This program is supported by the Initiatives Fund Program, a JSA commitment, to support programs, initiatives, and activities that further the scientific outreach, promote the science, education and technology of Jefferson Lab and benefit the Lab’s extended user community in ways that complement the Lab’s basic and applied research missions.
