APPLICATION GUIDELINES
PURPOSE: The goal of the Minority Trainee Travel Award (MTTA) program of the American Thoracic Society is to increase the representation in pulmonology, critical care, sleep medicine and researchers by providing an opportunity for underrepresented minorities (e.g., African American, Hispanic, Native American, Alaskan Native and Pacific Islander), who are trainees in programs in the United States to attend the ATS International Conference (IC).
CRITERIA:
1. Applicant must be a member of an underrepresented minority, as defined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the purposes of biomedical research support funding.

3. Applicant must be a current trainee, at any stage of training from high school through post-doctoral fellow, at an institution in the United States.
4. Applicant must be an author on an abstract accepted for presentation at the 2011 ATS IC. The MTTA applicants may be an author of a late-breaking abstract.
