Travel Resources
For those attending in person, all symposium events will take place on the ASU Tempe campus in building ISTB4:
781 S Terrace Rd, Tempe
781 S Terrace Rd, Tempe
Funding
The NASA Topical Workshops, Symposia, and Conferences in Space and Earth Sciences and Technology will fund a limited number of travel grants for students to attend the 2024 AZ AstroBio Symposium. Reimbursable costs include transportation (airfare or mileage in one’s personal vehicle, compact car rental, and fuel costs – as allowable under government regulations) and lodging. In most cases, actual expenses will exceed the funding provided. Three meals will be provided at the event, so meal costs will not be reimbursable. Only in-person symposium attendees will be granted travel reimbursements and we will prioritize students. Out of state or country travel will not receive all of their requested travel reimbursement due to limited funds.
We also suggest looking into your current institutional resources for funding travel. We have compiled a list of known resources for certain institutions. If you know of additional resources for your institution and would like them added to the list, please email Schuyler Borges at [email protected]
