Driving Directions:

• Take I-5 south
• Exit at Genesee Avenue (heading west)
• Turn left onto North Torrey Pines Road
• Turn right onto Torrey Pines Scenic Drive
• The Sanford Consortium is the first driveway on your right
• East parking lot is on the right (see pay instructions below)

Parking Information:

Sanford Consortium Parking - UPDATE The East parking lot prices have increased to $30 full day. Instructions: take note of the number on your parking space, pay station is near the base of the outdoor staircase. The machine accepts Visa, MC, Amex, and cash (machine will not give change). Important note to UCSD permit holders: If you plan to use this pay lot, remove your UCSD permit from view or you will receive a parking citation. DO NOT park in the west Sanford employee lot. Their permits are similar to UCSD, but have an additional sticker.

Free street parking on Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, but space is limited and fills up quickly.

UCSD lot (P386) - UCSD permits only (red, green & yellow). The lot entrance is on Torrey Pines Scenic Drive (on right).
Note - due to gravel and unevenness, traction may be difficult and low-profile vehicles may have clearance issues.

Pangea parking structure (P435) - Located on the corner of North Torrey Pines Rd & Pangea Drive for Visitors and UCSD permits (red, green, & yellow). Visitors 100 spots on level 6 with pay station $2 per hour.

Travel Awards

The Center for Circadian Biology is excited to announce CCB Network Awards for trainees to attend the symposium, sponsored in part by generous private donors and Eisai. These awards will fund trainees whose activities and experiences contribute to expanding the diversity of scientists involved in biological rhythms research. Undergraduate and Masters students will receive priority for awards, but PhD students will also be considered.

Applications must include:

• A brief essay that includes the career goals and interests of the applicant, why a conference focused on circadian biology advances those goals, and statement regarding the activities and/or background of the applicant that demonstrates potential to foster diversity and inclusion (1 page maximum)
• CV (2 page maximum)
• A letter of reference from a scientific advisor that addresses the value of the conference to the student, and the student’s contribution to the conference (may be uploaded with application or emailed separately to: sgolden@ucsd.edu)
• Poster abstract
  • Title (maximum of 150 characters, including spaces), 
  • All authors’ full names and affiliation, 
  • Abstract body (maximum of 500 words), 
  • References cited (optional)

Applications should be uploaded to this form (in a single .pdf file)  by January 31st, 2020. (You will have to sign in through a Gmail account to complete the upload.)

Recipients of the award will receive a full registration scholarship. Recipients from outside of the San Diego area will also be reimbursed for travel expenses to fully support attending the conference.
