The Committee will give highest priority to those candidates whose papers, exhibitions and performances have undergone a formal refereeing process or been solicited by a formal invitation. Less formal participation at an international gathering, invited or otherwise, shall be considered less compelling. Proposals that have a clear potential to yield long-term ties between the University of Arizona and scholars or educational institutions outside the United States shall be given especially positive consideration. Applications submitted early will be deferred by the Committee until the next round of competition. If there is a particularly compelling reason, however, why early consideration of your application is necessary, please include a brief statement of explanation in each of your application packets.
Graduate students are ineligible.
Professors emeriti have also received awards in these circumstances. Visiting faculty are not eligible for awards. Participation in meetings solely organized or solely supported by a for-profit commercial entity cannot be considered for funding. Retroactive travel grants, i.e., grants to be applied toward travel already completed or in progress at the time of submission of the proposal, shall not be awarded. As a general rule, we do not fund multiple authors of a single presentation.
