The following PDF files are available to print out: 2003 PRF International Travel Grant Application Form Procedures for Receiving PRF International Travel Grant Funds PLEASE NOTE: FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY! NOT TO BE USED FOR INDIVIDUAL FACULTY SUBMISSION.SCHOOL/REGIONAL CAMPUS Submission Procedures: Contains instructions and Excel Spreadsheet for entering grant application data for submission to the Vice President for Research office. Applications from school/regional campus are due no later than Friday, January 10, 2003. The purpose of the International Travel Grant Program is to assist faculty members in scholarly attainment by providing a portion of the transportation costs to those who will have an active role (presenting papers or serving as officials) at recognized international meetings. ELIGIBILITY These funds are for international travel only. Trips to Canada, Mexico, or Puerto Rico are treated fiscally as domestic travel and are eligible for direct funding from departmental general funds. Faculty members must continue in residence on either an academic-year or twelve-month tenured or tenure-track appointment in the 2004 calendar year to be eligible for a 2003 International Travel Grant. APPLICATION The PRF/IT application form should be completed and forwarded the dean of the school.* Each school will establish its own internal deadline and specific directions for application. Travel grant requests, after ranking by the academic deans, will be sent to Cynthia Habbinga, Office of the Vice President for Research, by Friday, January 10, 2003. EVALUATION Travel grants will be made upon recommendation of the academic deans. Recognizing the differences that exist among the various schools of the University, latitude is given the deans in setting additional criteria for application and award of travel grants within their schools. Faculty members may, therefore, expect to receive from their deans a statement concerning eligibility and criteria for award of International Travel Grants. AMOUNT The total endowment available is quite modest. The program, therefore, should not be regarded as a likely source of support, supplanting established governmental or private sources of travel funds. The amount of each award will be determined according to the destination, so that the recipient will be reimbursed by the grant for about 80 percent of the advanced purchase airfare to that destination. In cases where partial funding is available from alternative sources, the recipient of a grant may combine the awards to cover the allowable costs of the trip. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
