Conference Scholarships: LSC is pleased to announce the availability of ten scholarships to attend the conference. These scholarships were set up to allow programs that have not received a TIG award in previous grant cycles to attend the TIG Conference. Applications were due by 5:00 pm ET on Friday, November 18, 2011, and LSC will notify scholarship recipients shortly. Please view the full announcement for more details.
Submit an Ignite Session Proposal: The plenary on Thursday January 12 will feature 6-8 Ignite style presentations. Each presenter will have 20 slides and 6 minutes to share an idea, best practice, lesson learned, or to show off a TIG project. Ignite was created as a way for geeks to share their ideas with each other quickly, in a fun atmosphere.
