Because of the limited amount of money available for travel each year, faculty members are urged to seek support from other funding sources before applying.
Funding is limited to one trip per fiscal year per investigator.
Applications are accepted on a continual basis. The committee will meet to review grants when approximately 25 applications have been received, usually 3 to 4 times between September 1 and April 30. The Vice Chancellor for Research makes awards following review and upon recommendation of the Faculty Research Council, a committee of the Faculty Senate. The members of the Council represent a cross-section of the University community. Priority is low if applicant is applying for a second or third award in the same fiscal year.
