In San Diego, we had a very successful Doctoral Consortium with 13 student participants. In Portland, we will continue the Doctoral Consortium tradition. The Doctoral Consortium provide an opportunity for graduate students to present their research interests and plans at a formative stage in their research. The students receive structured guidance from a panel of distinguished researchers as well as comments from conference participants and fellow students in a collegial setting.

The PHM Society Doctoral Consortium will be held as a workshop on Sunday October 10, 2010, a day prior to the main conference. To allow sufficient time for discussions, the organizing committee will select up to 10 students. Each selected full-time student will received a travel subsidy of up to $1500 US. Complimentary conference registration will also be provided.

Doctoral Consortium applications are due June 30, 2010. More details are here.
