Instructions
To apply for funding, please click on the Application Form below after reading the following guidelines. The completed application form with attachments must be received by the Office of Research, Creative Activities and Technology Transfer, Research 1 bldg., BEFORE the travel takes place.
Matching funds are provided for researchers to travel to present a research paper or poster at a national or international conference. This support is intended to bring national or international visibility to NDSU's research accomplishments. The program attempts to provide financial assistance for as many requests as possible. However, because of limited funds, not all meritorious requests can be funded; or they may be funded at less than the level requested.
These are matching 1:1 grants. Before these travel funds will be awarded, another university funding source (department, college, grants, etc.) must be committed at an equal level, with approval of that commitment indicated by an authorizing signature at the bottom of the application form.
The maximum that may be awarded from this program is $200 for domestic travel for $250 for international travel. (Canada is considered at the domestic rate.)
The applicant must be first author and/or presenter. Only one travel award will be funded per paper/poster.
As of July 2006, applicants are eligible for just one award every two fiscal years. (each fiscal year runs July 1 through June 30 of following year). This represents a change from the former policy of one award per fiscal year. Applications must be submitted BEFORE the travel takes place, and applications are accepted at any time of the year.
Applications must be submitted with the Application Form designated for Non-Faculty Travel Awards (click on the link below). Attached to the form must be the following: * an abstract or summary of the research project * proof of acceptance to present the paper/poster - this information can be attached in the form of an email, letter or printed web site showing the author's name listed.
[Nonfaculty Travel Award Application Form]
Review takes approximately one to two weeks from the date the application is submitted. Applicants will be notified by letter as soon as a decision is made following review of the application. Award letters include instructions for collection of payment upon return from the travel.
