Applicants should answer the following questions:

1.      How will attendance at the 2013 conference benefit you at this stage in your career: what do you hope to learn, gain, or come away from the conference with?

2.      What questions, ideas about the field do you have that you would like to introduce, share, or have answered from connections made at the conference?
