More Information:
Individuals would who like to contribute a talk or poster to the program should send a title and abstract to Robert Gramacy (rbg@vt.edu), with the subject line “SRC 2019 Contribution”.
Contributed talks and posters will be entertained simultaneously, although you may indicate if you would prefer not to give a talk.
Deadline: January 31, 2019
A limited number of student travel scholarships are available to students contributing a poster or presentation. To apply, provide a short statement of interest in the meeting (e.g., how would it benefit your study?), a CV/resume, and a note from your advisor (on letterhead) confirming your student status and explaining the nature of your role in the research you are proposing to present.
All funded students must contribute a talk or poster, so this application for funding should be combined with the email described in the adjacent 'Call For Proposals' tab.

Blacksburg Lodging
There are a number of options for transportation from the Roanoke Regional Airport to Blacksburg.
Other options:
- The Smartway Bus - regional bus providing transportation between Roanoke and Blacksburg; Note: if returning to airport on Sunday you will need to ask the driver about an "Airport Transfer" as there is no regular Sunday service.
- Hooptie Ride (local driving service) - schedule in advance
- Uber/Lyft
Blacksburg is a town of a little more than 40,000 people that sits atop the Eastern Continental Divide in the highlands region of the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern Virginia. While it is a dyed-in-the-wool college town proud to be home to the second-largest public institution in the commonwealth, Blacksburg is also a community well-known for its friendliness and serves as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts due to its proximity to the Appalachain Trail and numerous other adventures.
If you would like to explore the area while you are here for the Spring Research Conference, the guide below is a good place to start.
Parallel sessions will be held on-campus in the New Classroom Building (1455 Perry Street, Blacksburg).
Poster sessions will be held on-campus in the lobby of the Moss Arts Center (190 Alumni Mall, Blacksburg).
The banquet will be held at Beliveau Winery and Estate (https://www.beliveauestate.com/). Shuttles to Beliveau will be provided and will meet at the New Classroom Building (NCB-- the location of parallel sessions) after the final session on Thursday evening. Conference participants are, of course, welcome to drive themselves if they wish.
