The awards include a travel grant up to $1,500, free registration fee for the 2010 conference, and free SPR membership for 2010.

(c) Applicants at research centers or universities located in Latin America, Asia (except Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan) or Eastern Europe are eligible. If sufficient funds are available, scholars from these areas who are temporarily working in economically advantaged countries will be considered.
(d) Applicants must either be a member of the SPR or have applied for membership.
(e) The grantees of last year are eligible to apply again although candidates who have not yet received an award have higher priority.
