Travel Grant Information
Applications for the support of travel may be submitted by medical school faculty, graduate students enrolled full time in departments of the medical school, and postdoctoral fellows. The priority for funding is faculty > graduate students > postdoctoral fellows. Staff, clinical fellows and medical students are not eligible for this funding. Medical students should contact the Student Affairs Office for travel funding requests.
Travel awards will only be considered when available funds exceed current research commitments. The Research Committee would like to conserve funds for the support of research activities. Therefore other sources of funding should be found whenever possible. In order to facilitate the handling of requests, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- The maximum amount of funding by the Research Committee is $300. Only one trip can be funded by the Committee per applicant per fiscal year.
- Only one author who is presenting a paper (on research performed at the University of Louisville) will be funded by the Research Committee.
- The Research Committee expects peer-reviewed publication of research presented with Research Committee support. In cases where the applicant has had travel previously funded by the Research Committee, a manuscript (published or accepted for publication) deriving from that work must accompany the new travel request.
- Applications may be submitted at any time prior to the initiation of travel. In most cases, the Chair of the Research Committee will review and act on travel requests.
- In several societies, abstract submission by a member guarantees acceptance. However, the Committee requires that a copy of the confirmation notice from the meeting organizers be submitted in order for funds to be awarded.
