Travel
Award Program
Funded
by Research and Sponsored Programs (RSP)
|
To enhance competitive grant proposals,
RSP will provide travel support funds to faculty or staff wishing
to meet with agency program officers or collaborators at other institutions (but only in the context of grant proposal development) . Because these funds are limited, conference travel expenses will not be eligible for reimbursement. Awards are contingent upon availability
each fiscal year, and are subject to approval through the Grants Incentive Committee. The Grants Incentive Committee is comprised of
four experienced Illinois State University grant-writing faculty from
various disciplines.
Travel Award Program Guidelines:
- A “Travel
Award Application” form along with an “Overview
of Proposed Project” must be completed electronically and
submitted via email to RSP at researchoffice@ilstu.edu. These
should also be forwarded to your chair/director.
- Your chair/director
must forward their approval to researchoffice@ilstu.edu
-
An electronic version of the guidelines
for the pertinent grant program must also be forwarded to researchoffice@ilstu.edu (a web link or hard copy is also acceptable).
- The proposed grant proposal must
be submitted through Research and Sponsored Programs on behalf of Illinois State University.
- A maximum of $1,000/per proposal may be requested.
- Once support is approved, if
required, airline arrangements should be made through Judy Keenan
(RSP) at 438-3006.
- Travel vouchers and invoices
should be completed and submitted for payment immediately following
travel and should have appropriate receipts and documentation
attached. All expenses must adhere to University and State travel
guidelines.
- Travel arrangements are to be
made at least two weeks in advance.
