Bursaries to support young pathologists to the 29^th International Congress of the IAP to be held at Cape Town, South Africa, September 29- October 5, 2012 (http://www.iap2012congress.com)

The IAP, supported by many IAP Divisions, is pleased to announce the availability of Bursaries to support young pathologists to attend the Congress.

The requirements are : 

1. Applicants should be from under-served countries;
2. Applicants should be less than 40 years old;
3. Applicants must present an abstract (oral or poster) at the Congress – the abstracts should be submitted in the usual manner to the Congress website ;
4. Bursary Recipients should participate in mentoring or other Bursary-related activities during the Congress;
5. Bursary recipients should write a brief report to the IAP after the Congress
6. Bursary recipients should share the educational materials of the Congress (CDs, handouts etc) with pathologists of their home countries

Applications should reach the Education Committee of the IAP by February 1, 2012.  Please send to both the Chair, H.K. Ng (hkng@cuhk.edu.hk) and Assistant Secretary of the IAP, Charles Ramey (iap.secretary@ubc.ca).

Applications should consist of :

1. A covering letter saying why one is applying
2. A brief c.v., including age, full address, email address and career status.   If there is an IAP division in the home country of the applicant, that should be stated
3. Names, full addresses and email addresses of two referees
4. Abstract to be intended to be presented at the Congress

Please note the following additional information :

*The amount awarded will vary depending on whether the recipient needs to travel a long distance and also is unlikely to cover ALL fees for attending the Congress.  However, Bursary recipients will be given a Concession Registration Fee for the Congress.  Please check the Registration section of the website or Professor Martin Hale.

*A very small number of Senior Pathologist Bursaries (>40 yrs) are available.  These are funded separately from the other Bursaries and applications should be made via the same channels as listed above.

*Applicants who feel that they want more advice on potential projects or abstracts can contact either the Congress President, Martin Hale (Martin.Hale@nhls.ac.za) or Chair of the Education Committee, H.K. Ng (hkng@cuhk.edu.hk). 

*There are independent funds for bursaries from Sub-Sahara Africa through efforts of the Friends of Africa-USCAP and young pathologists there are especially encouraged to apply.

Interested individuals are encouraged to contact either Martin Hale or H.K. Ng AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

Applicants should be from under-served countries;

这个under-served 我没太理解

这就叫惊喜，谁给翻译翻译！

申请者应从所工作的国家申请。

under-served 还有条件不完备，服务不到位之意。

IAP Bursary希望资助那些年轻的病理工作者，特别针对像中国这样政府投入不足、科研经费短缺的国家。申请的门槛并非高不可攀，除了按要求递交论文摘要外，另外准备一份申请书和个人简历就可以了，参会时还需参加一些资助方主办的活动，会后向IAP提交一份简短的报告并与本国的病理同仁分享会议资料等等。

其实很多国际会议都有这样的资助项目，吴秉铨基金会也积极与国际接轨，每年资助年轻的病理人参加国内的病理学会议（详见“基金会资助优秀青年学者参加中华医学会病理学分会第17次学术会议的通知”）。

这是一次难得的国际交流机会，大家踊跃申请哦！

这个还能继续申报吗？

可以哦，申请截止日期是2012年2月1日的。
