FACET & the Mack Center are partnering to offer travel grants to faculty presenting SoTL work at a conference. Applications for funding of faculty travel to conferences, as presenters, will be evaluated and awards made twice a year. Grants are for allowable costs as delineated by IU Travel Management up to $750. Faculty are encouraged to combine this funding with other sources.
The fall application deadline is July 1st for travel that will be completed by the following January. The spring application deadline is December 1st for travel that will be completed before the start of the next academic school year.
If you intend to participate in a conference for which you have not received official acceptance, please apply by the appropriate deadline and forward the acceptance when it is received. Funding will be contingent on acceptance.
Applications should include:
- Faculty name and affiliations
- Updated contact information
- Co-presenter (s) name and affiliations, if relevant**
- Co-presenter (s) contact information, if relevant
- Title of conference
- Confirmation of conference invitation/acceptance
- Title of paper/poster and a short abstract (see past recipient abstracts)
- Paragraph statement of importance of faculty member's attendance
- Budget of anticipated costs
**Please note that these grants are provided to an individual presenter. If a co-presenter wishes a grant, a separate application must be submitted.
Review Process
All applications will be reviewed by a subcommittee composed of one FACET member, one Mack Fellow, and one former recipient of a FACET/Mack SoTL Travel Grant. Funding decisions will be made as soon as possible after the application deadlines. Consideration will be given to the significance of the conference and the number of times the faculty member has been a recipient of the FACET/Mack SoTL Travel Grant. In addition, priority will be given to presentations over posters.
This funding is open to all faculty (IU Bloomington, IU East, IU Indianapolis, IU Columbus, FACET Fort Wayne, IU Kokomo, IU Northwest, IU South Bend, IU Southeast) regardless of rank or FACET membership.
