The SOM Travel Award program continues to offer financial support to aid faculty with significant child, elder, or other dependent care responsibilities in support of their career development. The intent of offering the awards is to encourage our faculty to present their current research at professional meetings, engage in networking opportunities, and further interact with their peers. Awards of up to $2000 are granted to faculty who are presenting at meetings to offset dependent care expenses related to their attendance at those conferences.
ELIGIBILITY: Assistant, Associate and Full Professors - All academic series (no preference)
CRITERIA:
- Award is for faculty members with significant childcare, eldercare, or other dependent care responsibilities who would like to attend a national or international meeting.
- Award is to enable professional development and national/international recognition. Preference will be given to faculty members who have an invitation to present research findings at the meeting, but applications will be accepted from faculty members who are not making presentations. Please justify need to attend.
APPLICATION PROCESS:
- Submit a budget describing relevant costs (airfare, meals, etc.) and how funds will be used to support care for child, elder, or dependent person either at the meeting or at home.
- Submit one paragraph about why this funding is important for you and how your presence at the meeting will help your career advancement.
- Funding must be requested in advance of travel. Awards will be granted on a rolling basis.
