The travel award requested will cover both registration for the upcoming Society for Neuroscience conference in Chicago ($315 for non-SfN-members) as well as a professional development workshop entitled "Neurobiology of Disease Workshop: Human Brain Malformations: From Genetics to Therapeutics," which spans all day Friday, 10/16 and costs $35 to register for.  As a graduate student with a strong neuroscience background from undergraduate and graduate courses, now entering into the field of health implementation sciences, this conference and workshop in particular would be tremendous in bridging these two areas of interest.  Other panels and workshops I plan to attend at this conference over the course of the weekend include "A Guide to Publishing in Journals", "Creating Connections and Community in Support of Diverse Neuroscience", "Making the Most of Your International Training Experience", and "Exploring New Communications Channels: Science Blogging".
