Dear Dr. Zatz,
               I’m writing to remind you that the deadlines are fast
approaching for registering for the FOBGAPT2 conference (
https://gs.ucdenver.edu/fobgapt2/main.php, flyer attached) to be held in
Denver on June 8-10, 2017.  The conference will be organized to maximize
discussion. Concurrent workshops will be held to allow all participants to
contribute actively to all workshops to produce both a compendium of best
practices at institutions and consensus support for national policy
recommendations.  Outcomes will be published shortly after the meeting. We
encourage you to submit one or more  2-page “What Works” abstracts for the
same April 15th deadline to be published along with the conference white
paper on the web site and be used by the Workshop co-Chairs to help
stimulate discussions on the five Workshop topics.  In addition it would be
advisable to reserve your room as soon as possible at the special FOBGAPT2
rates at one of the hotels listed on the conference web site, since they
are convenient to the venue.
                Please feel free to share this information with anyone you
feel might be interested in attending.  We are hoping for broad
representation from academia, the private sector, non-profits, funding
agencies, and trainees.  *If you know of graduate students and postdocs in
the biosciences who have been actively engaged in this discussion but who
do not have institutional funds to attend, please refer them to our web
site for information on applying for Travel Awards by April 1st*.  We
anticipate being able to fund up to 20 awards to trainees for up to $1650
each to cover registration, lodging and travel expenses, and we will notify
award recipients before the application deadline of April 15.
                If you have any questions, please contact one of us (
david.engelke at ucdenver.edu, peterh at umich.edu).
Regards,

Dave Engelke, University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus
Peter Hitchock, University of Michigan
      For the Organizing Committee
