Faculty Conference Travel
All full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty, lecturers, Riley scholars, and year-long visiting faculty are eligible for the Dean of the Faculty Conference Grant to fund travel to attend and present at one in-person conference or fund registration for a virtual conference. Please read these instructions carefully as policy details may have changed since you last used this grant program. (funding cycle is from July 1 to June 30).
In person conferences:
The award is up to $1,600 per academic year when the grant is to support presentation of the applicant’s original research, scholarship, or creative effort at one recognized organized conference or professional meeting. The presentation is often in the form of a reading, presentation, panel, poster but can vary with field. Presentation includes being the organizer/chair of a session. The cap is the same for both domestic and international conferences. The Office of the Dean of the Faculty does not have additional funds to augment the award for international conferences.
The award is up to $750 for attending a meeting when one is not a presenting member. Non-presenting means one is just attending.
Virtual conferences:
The award is up to $600 for presenting at a virtual conference, and up to $250 for attending as a non-presenter at a virtual conference.
Eligible expenses
In-person conferences: The award includes funding for business expenses for in-person conferences for lodging, meals for the faculty member (not their family and partners), air and ground transportation for the faculty member, and registration. These are expenses that are reimbursed as business-expenses and are governed by our business expense guidelines.
Virtual conferences: The award covers registration fees for the virtual conference.
In no case can the award exceed the cost of travel and other eligible expenses.
