Travel Grant Guidelines

This fund is designed to support tenure-track faculty, tenured faculty, academic professionals, and lecturers/instructors/clinical associates/research associates (not post-docs or students) who are presenting research papers or posters.

  • Tenure-track and tenured faculty
    This fund is designed to support tenure-track faculty, tenured faculty who are presenting research papers or posters. This fund is to be used after other sources of funding, like the Campus Research Board’s Scholars Travel Fund, have been exhausted. Travel grants can be used for multiple trips but are limited to $1,000 per year (July 1-June 30th) per person.  This funding will not carryover from year to year.

    Specialized Faculty and Academic Professionals
    CHAD will provide travel support in the amount of $500 each year for academic professionals and specialized faculty (i.e. clinical, teaching, or research professors) presenting research or other scholarship at a conference.  Travel grants can be used for multiple trips, but are limited to $500 per year (July 1-June 30th).  This funding will not carryover from year to year.

    Non-conference related travel
    Research-related travel that is not for a scientific conference, but rather for other purposes such as data collection, will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Faculty and academic professionals seeking funding for such travel must provide a detailed explanation of the purpose of the trip and how it contributes to their ongoing research or scholarship. Each request will be reviewed individually to determine its alignment with the fund’s goals and availability of resources.
