Purpose:
To provide supplemental support for travel for presentation of a paper
or poster; invited symposium chair/moderator/discussant; attendance
as officer of association/conference; research development; teaching
development; etc.
Policies and Restrictions:
1. Travel funds may be requested for transportation, food, lodging
and (in the case of conferences) registration fees. (Amounts requested
in each category must not exceed the maximum allowed under State guidelines. Note: Foreign
travel cost reimbursement is also subject to State guidelines.)
2. Awards are limited to one trip per year per faculty member.
3. Requests for travel awards must include a brief (one or, at most,
two paragraphs) justification that explains how the award will substantially
enhance the faculty member's research, creative activity, teaching,
or other scholarly effort and output.
4. The Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Travel Fund is not intended
to be used in lieu of other appropriate funds. Other sources of funds
to supplement faculty travel may include, but are not limited to, travel
allocations in departmental budgets, other departmental operating funds,
revolving accounts, and external sources such as grants and Foundation
accounts. Normally, it is expected that the faculty member's department
will help defray some of the travel expenses, and that the faculty
member will have made efforts to secure external support if that is
a possibility. The Chair should describe on the application form any
discussion with the applicant about opportunities for external support.
5. Requests must list the amount being contributed from all sources
toward the travel request to be supplemented by the Arts and Sciences
Travel Fund.
6. Requests for faculty travel should be forwarded by the department
Chair directly to the Office of the Dean. In each case, the Chair must
provide a rating and a brief justification of that rating. The Chair
should also describe the funds to be provided by the Department and
how the coverage of classes will be handled. The chair need not attach
an additional memo. Completing the form in full with the chair's signature
indicates support of the request.
7. Applications for travel during the 2000-01 academic year may be
submitted at any time.
Receipts must be submitted to Accounting with claims for all expenses
over $10.00. In high cost cities the reimbursement will follow the
high cost rates. Reimbursement of meals within the per diem rates does
not require receipts.
Mileage will be reimbursed at $.40 per mile. (Travel by private
auto should be done only when the location being visited is not easily
accessible or when the cost of such travel is significantly less than
other modes of transportation.)
All sections must be completed by the applicant before the request
is processed. Incomplete forms will be returned to the department and
will result in a delay in the approval process. Application must be
received at least two weeks prior to the travel date.
* Ratings
1.Extremely important. Among the top 5% of requests.
2.Excellent. Among the top 25% of requests.
3.Very Good. Should be funded if possible (top 50%).
4.Good. Will substantially assist applicant's professional
standing
