Manager Travel Supplements for 2024 US HAB Symposium
The US National Office for Harmful Algal Blooms is pleased to announce the availability of supplementary travel funding to help support resource manager participation in the upcoming US HAB Symposium in Portland, ME: https://neiwpcc.org/events/ushab12/. Funding for this program is provided by NOAA and eligibility is restricted to county, state or tribal management (resource, public health, water quality, etc.) agency staff.  Please note that federal employees are not eligible to receive funding support through this program.

Supplements will be provided as reimbursement following the conference, and preference will be given to individuals who've not received an award in the past.  Reimbursable costs include airfare, car rental, conference registration, mileage for personal cars or car rental, accommodations, meals, etc. After the conference, you will need to complete a WHOI travel voucher for reimbursement, W-9 form, and direct deposit form, and submit them to the National HAB Office, along with your receipts (additional instructions provided at a later date).
