The MBI welcomes the participation of other academic institutions and invites those interested to join the MBI Institute Partner Program. The program subsidizes the travel and local expenses of IP member faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students, to allow their participation in research and education programs at the MBI.
Each IP institution commits annual funds to the MBI. These funds are credited to the IP member account and may roll over from one year to the next. Following authorization by the IP member's chair, travel and local expenses of up to twice the balance in the IP member account will be paid in full with 50 percent debited from the IP account and 50 percent debited from the MBI's account.
The MBI provides $15K annually to support conferences in mathematical biology held at IP institutions; for more details, contact the MBI Director.
IP chairs or representatives are invited to annual meetings to explore educational and research opportunities and provide input for future institute programs. IP members also receive MBI newsletters, proceedings, and annual reports.
