Please note that all MEID Fellows can receive up to $1,000 a year in funding to attend relevant conferences and symposiums.Symposium on the Landscape Ecology of Infectious Diseases
Dates: April 7th, 2008Where: Madison, Wisconsin
To be held April 7th, 2008 at the annual meeting of the United States Regional Association of the International Association for Landscape Ecology (US-IALE) in Madison, Wisconsin.
Who should attend? Biostatisticians, ecologists, epidemiologists, geographers, medical entomologists, microbiologists, parasitologists, and other health scientists who are interested in learning about novel geographic approaches to infectious disease research.
In addition to this symposium, the US-IALE conference will feature sessions on a variety of relevant topics including satellite remote sensing, spatial analysis, land cover/land use change, and species distribution modeling.
NIH/NIAID-sponsored travel awards are being offered to graduate students from the health science fields who have an interest in geographic and ecological approaches to the study of infectious diseases and human health, but have had limited exposure to the science of landscape ecology. Applications are due by February 15th, 2008.
