The organizing committee  will provide financial support to several highly qualified investigators to participate in the 5th International Conference on Environmental Mutagens in Human Populations, Antalya, Turkey, May 20-24, 2007. Both junior and senior investigators can apply and they must submit an abstract for a poster presentation. To be considered eligible for the Junior Investigator Fellowship, applicants should be graduate students or Ph.D. level scientists who have received their doctoral degrees within 5 years of the conference date. The applicants for the Senior Investigator Fellowship should be from the developing countries.

Investigators can request support that covers one or all of the followings: the registration fee (350 € and 200 € from developing countries), accommodation and food expenses for five days (approximately 350 €, double occupancy), and the transfer from and to the airport (65 €). Airfare and other travel costs will not be covered due to the lack of funds.

The following criteria will be used to select recipients of the fellowships:
1. Quality of the abstract (less than 500 words: organization, scientific data and relevance to the conference).
2. A brief statement indicating how the investigator will benefit scientifically from attending the meeting and what type of support will be needed.
