The Office of Research and Graduate Studies

Ad Hoc Requests for Travel Funding

If a faculty member has been invited to present/perform at a national or international venue and wishes to apply to the Office of Research and Graduate Studies (114 Arts) for travel assistance, he or she should write a short memo to the associate dean (with copy to the unit head) indicating the name, place, and dates of the event and the title of your presentation. An itemized budget of expenses must accompany the request.

To be eligible for funding, a faculty member must be part of the official program of a conference or event. Unfortunately, there is not sufficient funding available to provide financial assistance for attendance only at conferences and other events.
