1 July 15 Open deadlines are announced occasionally. Students who are giving papers at state or national meetings will be favored. However, students may apply for funds to travel to any conference in their discipline without giving a presentation. Matches are not required. An applicant must be working with a faculty mentor who supports the student s research project.
Domestic travel requires the approval of the faculty mentor.
Foreign travel, including to Canada or Mexico, requires the mentor s approval and the approval of the UROP Director. Travel funds will not be distributed for travel that has already occurred. Students should apply by the deadline that precedes their trip by at least three weeks. Research Project and Travel Grants Students may include travel for research purposes in a Research Project and Travel Grant. For example, funds may be used for field work and data collection, visiting libraries and museums, or visiting laboratories or other sites for consultation.
