All Fellows are expected to attend all of the meeting. If a mentor can not come to the meeting, an appropriate substitute familiar with the Fellow's research may attend. Each year, a limited number of alumni and outside speakers attend. Of course, the members of the NAC and staff of the RWJF attend as their schedules permit. Mentors, NAC, and alumni are guests of the program, and will have economy-class transportation, lodging, and meals reimbursed.
Fellows pay for the meeting from their grants.
This could result, for example, from equipment, travel, or technical assistance costing less than anticipated, or because of an unanticipated award of funds or supplies from another source. These should be submitted to Milton Ellis at RWJF, with a copy to the NPO, or to the NPO with a copy to Mr. Ellis. Please allow up to three months for a budget revision. Call the NPO with any questions. It is sometimes possible to pay a portion of a technician's salary as part of the Stipend line item.
