CSE International Scholarship Program (applications due by October 5, 2008)The Council of Science Editors International Scholarship Program provides support for editors from developing nations to attend CSE Annual Meetings. Several scholarships will be offered to CSE's 52nd Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, May 1 - 5, 2009. The scholarships are intended for editors in developing countries who contribute to the editorial content of journals in the sciences, medicine, or health care. Applications from others who work in the field of scientific publications will also be considered. Each funded scholar will receive free registration to the conference (including hotel stay and all meals) and partial reimbursement for travel expenses. Recipients of the 2009 CSE International Scholarships may participate in a session during the annual meeting and may be asked to write a summary of their experience for possible publication in the CSE journal Science Editor.Eligibility. CSE defines "developing nations" as those countries that are eligible for free or low-cost access to biomedical literature through the World Health Organization's Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI). Lists of countries eligible for free access (Band 1) or low-cost access (Band 2) are available on the HINARI website: http://www.who.int/hinari/eligibility/en/index.html. Only applicants from countries listed in either Band 1 or Band 2 are eligible to receive a CSE International Scholarship.
