Miami Marriott Biscayne
Bay
Experience the casual elegance
and refinement of Miami at
Marriott Biscayne Bay, a
luxury hotel in Miami, FL.
Located in the heart of
Downtown’s Arts and
Entertainment District, the
Marriott Hotel offers waterfront
accommodations with a gorgeous
view just minutes from the Port
of Miami. For pleasure, enjoy
fine dining and shopping at
Bayside Marketplace or wander
through the hip Art Deco
District. Entertainment at the
nearby Carnival Center for the
Performing Arts features opera,
jazz and symphony performances.
Biscayne Bay Marriott also
offers luxury hotel amenities
such as a pool, fitness center
and beauty salon to keep you
looking and feeling great.
Special rates are negotiated for
ESRF participants. ($165.00
single/double rooms plus 13%
taxes.) The ESRF Executive
Committee has also set-up
special arrangements with the
hotel so that participants
wishing to prepay their rooms
will not be charged the
applicable taxes thus saving
over $80.00 for the four nights
stay. For more information
please contact Isabel Perez at
iperez4@med.miami.edu.
The Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay
is located within a short ride
of the
Metromover/Metrorail
system from the University
of Miami School of Medicine
campus. The ESRF will provide
free metrorail passes to those
participants staying at the
hotel.
Travel
Awards
The ESRF
encourages
participation
from
as
many
qualified
applicants
as
possible.
Since
medical
and
graduate
students
live
on
a
limited
budget,
the
ESRF
offers
travel
awards
to
help
reduce
the
cost
associated
with
travel
expenses. Accepted
applicants
may
be
considered
for
partial
travel
awards
based
on
financial
need
and
abstract
quality.
Medical and graduate students interested in applying for travel awards
should indicate this on the online Abstract
Application
Form
and
enclose
a
letter
from
their
Departmental
Chairperson
or
Dean
(not
the
research
advisor
or
mentor)
stating
financial
need.
To
be considered for the travel grant the letter must be received before the
deadline date you are applying for. Applying
for
a
travel
award
in
no
way
affects
the
acceptance
or
judging
process. Students
selected
for
travel
awards
will
be
notified
in
writing.
