RNA 2021 Inclusion Initiative

The RNA Society is excited to announce a special program directed at enhancing the accessibility of RNA 2021 to RNA scientists who otherwise might not be able to participate in this meeting. This program will provide free meeting registration to individuals who are current RNA Society members and who belong to at least two of the following categories:

  1. RNA 2021 would be the first meeting of the RNA Society that you have attended.
  2. The primary location where you carry out your research is NOT in the USA, Canada or Western Europe.
  3. You are a member of an under-represented group of scientists that include marginalized racial, ethnic or gender identify groups, those having disability or impairment, and/or from a disadvantaged background.*
  4. You study/teach RNA science in an academic environment not supported by outside research funding.

*Please note that being female does not alone qualify as a minority or under-represented group within the RNA research community and, therefore, is not a criterion for eligibility in the RNA 2021 Inclusion Initiative.

To receive free registration in this program, please join the RNA Society as a member for 2021 and provide answers to the questions above on the registration form.

Available funds for the RNA 2021 Inclusion Initiative are limited, so if you have attended past annual meetings of the RNA Society or are associated within a lab or institution that has resources available to cover meeting registration costs, the registration fee will be payable at the time of registration.

Fees

RNA Society Full Members $125 USD
RNA Society Student & Post-doc Members $100 USD
Non-members $250 USD

Your membership must be current for calendar year 2021 to qualify for the member fee. Include your RNA Society member number on the registration form. Join, renew or login to view your profile here: RNA Society membership
