Provost's Travel Reimbursement Awards

After deans’ travel allowances have been exhausted, limited funds may be available
on a case by case basis for travel to conferences to which faculty have been invited
to present original research. Requests should be submitted at least 30 days before
the conference. Deans are requested to limit the use of their travel funds to travel
for similar travel, i.e., for travel to conferences at which faculty members are presenting
original research. At the deans’ discretion, of course, rare exceptions may be made for
other types of significant participation, but not through this program. Questions
concerning these funds should be directed to Associate Provost Greg Burton (x6070).
