The goal of the endowment is to foster research and interaction between scientists studying Thysanoptera and Tospoviruses with special attention on encouraging new scholars. Through a competitive application process, we selected eleven Laurence Mound Fellows to receive a scholarship to attend the Xth International Symposium on Thysanoptera and Tospoviruses, May 16th through May 20th, 2015 in Asilomar.

For two years students from 7 institutions have participated in the program as mentors and mentees, conducting independent research projects and attending interactive sessions in a cyber-classroom through Adobe Connect. Through a competitive application process, twelve TTEN mentors and mentees were selected as TTEN Fellows, each receiving a scholarship to attend the Xth International Symposium on Thysanoptera and Tospoviruses, May 16th through May 20th, 2015 in Asilomar. The TTEN is funded by AFRI NIFA Coordinated Agricultural Project 2012-01785.
