Funds are also available to faculty members when they are playing an active role at a scholarly conference as a session chair or a discussant. While they will be given lower priority, funding requests to present invited papers or meet with colleagues to pursue a well-defined research agenda will also be considered by the committee. The Faculty of Management's Travel Fund is to be used as a secondary source of funds. If ULTF or other travel funds are not sought prior to applying for Faculty of Management funds, the committee will require an explanation. Such an explanation will be considered an integral part of the application as the committee makes its funding decision.
Funding is available for travel expenses and conference fees only.
Funding cannot be used to pay association or other membership fees or to buy books or other materials. University guidelines will apply for all reimbursements. To be considered for funding, applications must be submitted prior to travel. Application for funds must be made through the Faculty of Management's Office of Graduate Programs and Research. Along with the Faculty of Management Application for Travel Assistance, applicants should provide support materials such as a letter of acceptance for their paper or other proof that their request is legitimate.
