Those requesting support need one brief letter of recommendation, emailed to dps@uoregon.edu. Please have your PhD advisor, program director or department chair send a short (one paragraph) letter which addresses the following


- that you are a student/postdoc in their department in good standing.

- the relevance of the summer school to your research, and your ability to take advantage of the program.

- whether you should be considered for a standard travel allotment (because you have some local funds available) or should be considered for a slightly larger allotment.
