Travel Awards
The OPAM 2010 travel awards go to the following two nominees:
"Perceptual grouping determines the locus of attentional selection"
Joshua Cosman (University of Iowa)
"The influence of inhibitory and approach motivational systems on the
neural correlates of cognitive control"
Brandt Uitermarkt (Iowa State University)
Congratulations!
The selections were unanimously determined by the qualities of nominees' submission contents and financial need described on the nomination forms, which were translated into an objective scoring system.
This year, we received 26 nominations, and the subsequent selection processes were very competitive. Although it was not possible this year due to the grant starting time, the travel award application/nomination procedure will be part of abstract and summary submissions next year.
These awards were made possible, in part, by National Eye Institute / National Institutes of Health.
