Research Career Development Travel Award Program
The Office of the Vice President for Research and the Council of Research Deans are pleased to announce a Research Career Development Travel Award Program.

2. Senior faculty who wish to attend a meeting outside of their primary research field, but in a scientific area that will enhance/expand their current research capabilities, and for which no/insufficient other funds are available.
All proposals will be reviewed by members of the Council of Research Deans, who will make recommendations for funding to the VP for Research.
