Scientific Program, Upcoming Deadlines, Accommodations

Scientific Program

The Scientific Program outlining SSR 2014's plenary and module speakers and topics is now available! Updates will be made on an ongoing basis, with weekly summaries on this blog.

Upcoming Deadlines

Trainees, grab your calendars and put a red flag on 15 February 2014, because that's the last day to:

• Submit an abstract for SSR 2014.
• Apply for a Larry Ewing Memorial Trainee Travel Fund (LEMTTF) grant.
• Renew or complete your application for 2014 SSR Trainee Membership (see below).

Remember, you must be a current Trainee Member of SSR as of 15 February 2014, to qualify for the SSR Trainee Research, USDA-NIFA-AFRI, or Lalor Foundation Awards. Renew your membership well in advance to avoid the processing backlog near the deadline.

Accommodations

Visit the SSR 2014 Accommodations page for details about SSR's headquarters hotel, the Amway Grand Plaza. SSR has negotiated a fantastic room rate (choice of two queens or one king; $129 per night, before taxes) for attendees at this AAA Four-Diamond hotel!
