ALAO provides financial support to assist and encourage support staff members who wish to present at the ALAO Annual Conference. The fund is intended to be used to cover travel expenses, preparing materials for a presentation or poster session, and other related expenses. All grant applications will be considered by the Program Committee and more than one awardee may be chosen (depending on the funds requested and/or available). Only the presenters of presentations or poster sessions chosen for inclusion in the conference may apply for the grant. The grant application will appear shortly after the successful proposals are announced in May.
