NSF Postdoctoral Fellowships in Polar Regions Research (NSF 04-566) has
a travel grant component that supports travel by applicants to
prospective host institutions before they submit a postdoctoral
fellowship proposal. Travel grants, which support travel and per diem
expenses, facilitate visits to one or two organizations to meet
prospective mentors and colleagues, to present seminars, to discuss
mutual research and/or education interests, to evaluate facilities and
professional development opportunities, and to initiate collaborative
relationships.

The deadlines for the travel grant component of the program have been
removed. Travel grant proposals may now be submitted at any time
provided submission is at least three months in advance of the proposed
travel. Award decisions are anticipated to be made within two months of
submission. The postdoctoral fellowship requirements and deadlines
remain unchanged, and the next deadline is March 2, 2005.

For questions on the Polar Regions Postdoctoral Fellowship program,
