Please plan to attend the ADMET-1 Conference.
ADMET-1 will be held February 11-13, 2004 in San Diego, California.
For more information, see the Conference URL:

ADMET-1 will be an international meeting bringing together leaders
in the computational and experimental areas of ADMET. The meeting will
consist of invited lectures, poster talks, as well as scientific and
vendor workshop presentations. The lectures will focus on theory and
application of both computational and experimental ADMET approaches.
In addition, lecturers will be asked to mention explicitly how they
handle structural diversity and noisy data characteristic of ADMET
problems.

The Conference organizer, Scherago International, is sponsoring ADMET
STUDENT TRAVEL GRANT AWARDS of $250 each. This year there will be four
(4) travel grants.  The deadline for applying for these ADMET travel
grants is the same as the poster submission deadline: December 5, 2003.
Students who receive travel grant awards will also receive their
registration fee paid for by Scherago International.

Undergraduate and Graduate students who wish their posters to be
considered for the ADMET Student Travel Grant awards must first
submit their abstract online via the web submission form and then send
an e-mail to Professor Tony Hopfinger, University of Illinois at Chicago,
USA (hopfingr.edu) with the following information:

	1. Name
	2. Title of Poster paper submitted
	3. E-mail address
	4. Phone number

The four (4) students will received the travel grants (and
