Letters of interest are being solicited from college and graduate students or Post-Docs actively doing research into any aspect of environmental enrichment for laboratory animals. A panel of experts will select the first recipients of the Enrichment Rising Star award, who will receive $500 cash and expenses

This all-day event offers technicians, lab animal veterinarians and enrichment coordinators from the mid-Atlantic Research Region a morning of lectures and poster presentations, a special topic luncheon, and 8 breakout sessions in the afternoon.
Interested candidates are encouraged to submit a letter of interest signed by their academic advisor that briefly describes their research to:
