UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS: ACADEMIC FEDERATION
1 November 1999
TO: Deans, Directors and Department Chairs
SUBJECT: Academic Federation Travel Grant Applications for Travel to
Professional Meetings for the Fiscal Year 1999-2000.
DEADLINE-REVISED
Applications for travel from January 1, 2000 to June 30, 2000, are due
5p.m., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1999, 5 P.M.
(Faxed applications are not accepted.)
The Academic Federation Committee on Research is now accepting
applications from members of the Academic Federation for partial costs
for
transportation to professional meetings to be undertaken between
January 1,
2000 and June 30, 2000.
Please note you may submit a request for funds even if your paper or
poster has not yet been accepted. Confirmation of paper or poster
presentation may be sent in later.
These grants allow Academic Federation members to present their most
up-to-date research results in a highly visible forum. Awards will
consist
of $300 for domestic meetings and $700 for international travel,
although
in no case can the award exceed the cost of travel and other allowable
expenses incurred in connection with the meeting. Please consider
these
criteria when submitting an application.
1) Funding will be awarded ONLY for travel to meetings for personal
presentation of original research work of one's own scholarship.
2) Funding for international travel will be considered only on an
every-other-year basis. Accordingly, anyone funded for international
travel in 1998-1999 is not eligible for an international travel award
in
1999-2000.
3) Applications will be considered for a maximum of one travel award
per
fiscal year. Applications must be submitted by the deadlines listed;
requests for funds submitted after a meeting will not be accepted.
Due to requests for funds exceeding the amount available, the
committee
will use the following criteria to rank proposals:
4) Higher priority will be given for travel awards to present work at
conferences that have a national or international, rather than a
regional,
audience. Applications to attend conferences with restricted
participation
and/or lack of a published proceedings will receive lower priority.
5) Highest priority will be given to applications by junior members
of
the Academic Federation.
ELIGIBILITY: Academic Federation members with Principal Investigator
Status. Academic Federation members without Principal Investigator
status
or who are on leave without pay are NOT eligible unless approved as an
exception by the Vice Chancellor for Research. A form requesting
exception
must be attached to the application. Please refer to the Sponsored
Research Manual, Section 105, for information regarding Principal
Investigator Status. See also the Academic Federation By-Laws for
