既にお伝えしているように、Travel Awardには、アジア地域を中心とする16カ国から過去最高の126名に及ぶ応募がありました。池中一裕Travel Award選考委員長を中心とした選考委員会において、選考作業を行いましたが、質の高い応募が数多くあり、選考は困難を極めました。採択枠の都合により、高いレベルに達していても採択できないものが数多くあり、大変残念でした。今年採択されなかった方も、来年以降の年次大会のTravel Awardへ是非またご応募ください。
　激戦を勝ち抜いた31名の受賞候補者は以下の通りです。大会中に開催される総会内で授賞式を行います。会期中に会場で受賞者を見かけた場合には、どうぞ温かくお迎えください。また受賞者は懇親会にも招待いたしますので、ぜひ会員の皆様も懇親会に出席し、他国で活発に研究を行う研究者との交流を深めてください。

Award Details Travel Awards are offered to participants in the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society who come from Asian nations or developing countries in the neighborhood of Japan, and who will give a presentation at the meeting. Details of the Travel Awards are as set out below.
	A certificate will be conferred at an award ceremony to be held during the meeting.
	The meeting registration fee will be waived.
	Recipients will be invited to attend a reception to be held during the meeting.
	The cost of publication in the English volume of abstracts（Neuroscience Research Supplement）will be half price (2,000 yen).
	Recipients will be awarded a prize money. This prize money will be given as a partial support for the traveling expenses (the airfare from the recipient's country of residence to Japan, and domestic transportation in Japan). Refer the attached file "the table of the amount of the prize money" about the classification by countries. The amount will not be increased under any circumstances. Each one must bear the shortfall. The prize money will be paid at the meeting venue, in Japanese yen.
	Accommodation will be provided during the period of the meeting (the four nights of September 15-18, 2009). The meeting organizers will not pay any costs of accommodation elsewhere, or outside the period of the meeting. Nor will they make any arrangements or act as intermediary in these cases.
	An advance meeting and welcome reception will be held on the day before the conference opens (September 15, 2009). At this meeting, recipients will give a poster presentation of the research they intend to present at the meeting.
	Persons who do not attend the meeting or the above-mentioned advance meeting will have their award revoked.
