Dear Arabidopsis folks-
  
Below is information for the upcoming NAASC-organized ICAR in St. Louis (June 19-23) including funding opportunities (full-funding for US under-represented minorities, travel supplements for US early career researchers and *NEW* childcare funding).

The ICAR won’t return to North America until 2020, making this the perfect year for you to attend (2018= Finland, 2019= China).
http://icar2017.arabidopsisresearch.org/

• See the invited speaker program (including 4 keynotes):
http://icar2017.arabidopsisresearch.org/schedule.html

• We’ve got 50 slots for talks from submitted abstracts (submissions due by March 31.)
  
The Danforth Center is hosting the ICAR’s conference party and an Open House for ICAR attendees.
There are inexpensive WashU dorms (private rooms)- perfect for students and postdocs at $68/night, including breakfast and taxes.
We’ve negotiated a good room rate at the conference site (Hyatt at the Arch) for regular attendees.
  
**ICAR 2017- Arabidopsis Research in 2017 and Beyond: From Basic Discovery to Translation**
1. Funding opportunities- applications and all supporting materials: due by March 10 (US under-represented minorities- full funding awards; US early career scientists- partial funding travel awards; New- childcare subsidies to enable parents of small children to attend (priority given to early career applicants))

2. Early bird/reduced fee registration deadline and abstract submission for oral consideration: March 31

3. Inexpensive dorms rooms for students and postdocs at WashU: $68/night/person in a private room, includes taxes and breakfast (friends or lab-mates can indicate to share a suite of 3-4 single rooms, or you will be matched with same-gender suite mates).  Dorms are available until sold-out, or until May 12.  Lodging is paid for at the time you make your reservation, during the registration process.

4. Student and Postdoc focused career and networking activities (Panel/session, June 19; and panel and session, June 21)

5. The Danforth Center is hosting the official conference party and the ‘careers in industry’ event for students and postdocs, including a social/networking hour with industry members.

6. Sessions accepting abstracts for possible oral presentation (abstract deadline for consideration: March 31):
-Cell and Developmental Biology (10 talks will be selected from submitted abstracts)
- Hormone Signaling Concurrent (5 talks will be selected from submitted abstracts)
- Plant Defense and Biotic Interactions Concurrent (5 talks will be selected from submitted abstracts)
- Epigenetics and Chromatin Concurrent (5 talks will be selected from submitted abstracts)
