Financial support:
We gratefully acknowledge support from the NSF, and locally from the
College of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Northern Arizona University.
Since the NSF funding came through at a reasonable level, there will be
no registration fee.
We have limited funds to support some conference participants, on the
usual inverse seniority basis. Priority in funding will be given to
unsupported graduate students and postdocs. We hope that participants with
grants and/or travel money from their home institution will use these to
pay as much of their expenses as possible. (Hint: you can increase the
probability of getting fully reimbursed for your lodging if you share
a room with someone.)
We will need original receipts. Also, for non-US-residents, we will need a
photocopy of the passport picture and visa pages of your passport, your
I-94 (if applicable) and social security card if you have one. Foreign
participants must have a B-1 visa for getting reimbursement; a B-2 visa or
a tourist visa is not good enough. It is at the immigration officer's
discretion at the point of US entry which visa (B-1 or B-2) the visitor
will receive. You must insist on getting a B-1 visa! We are happy to
provide you with a letter of invitation - please let us know if you need
one. Note that all of the above applies to Canadians as well.
