The National Postdoctoral Association is pleased to offer a special 50% discount to postdocs affiliated with Harvard Medical School to attend the NPA's 6th Annual Meeting in Boston at the Harvard Medical Conference Center. This offer is available to postdocs at HMS, DFCI, BWH, CHB, and MGH. This offer is only available to NPA members. If you wish to take advantage of this offer and are not currently a member of the NPA, you may join for free as an affiliate member. This free membership is available because the five institutions that comprise the host committee are all sustaining institutional members of the NPA.

Once you have received this, you may proceed to the meeting registration page. At this time, the only form available is a PDF. Please download and complete the affiliate member (or other membership category) version of the form. When totaling the fees, please apply a 50 percent discount (this discount applies to both the pre-meeting workshops and the main meeting). Please also provide your professional contact information. This form should be faxed or mailed with your payment. We hope to have an automated online form available soon, but have been experiencing technical difficulties with our website vendor. If you wish to wait, the pre-registration cut-off is April 11th. On-site registration will require a $25 surcharge and is not subject to the discount.

We hope you will be able to attend the meeting, and take advantage of this special discount. If you have any questions, please contact Kenetia Thompson .
