The program is currently funded for three years beginning in FY2001. These funds, to be used to help offset travel expenses to Los Alamos, are available to all University of California or New Mexico university students who have been allocated beam time as part of an approved experimental team. This high level of technical support allows professors the flexibility to bring, or send, students to conduct experiments without a high impact on their research budget.
Support is meant to offset travel costs such as airfare, car rental and lodging.
Senior scientists are encouraged to match travel subsidies with contributions from research grants. Support for dissertation research shall have next highest priority. Requests must be received at least four weeks prior to the scheduled experiment start date. Name of student and institution.
