hi, i too looked at this announcement, and feel that interested
persons need to know they are expected to come up with their own funds
for air-fare and housing, which pretty much limits the number of
people from small institutions or any graduate students who wish to
respond...too bad, sounded like a very good program to take part in.
Anyone else have any thoughts on the matter of fellowships, their
exclusiveness or otherwise?  thanks from another poor
graduate student.
