UC DAVIS: ACADEMIC SENATE 

March 6, 2007

MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMIC SENATE; DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, and ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS

RE: Faculty Research Travel Grant Applications for Travel to Professional Meetings

Applications accepted until May 31, 2008 for travel through June 30, 2008. 

The Academic Senate Committee on Research is now accepting applications from members of the 
Academic Senate for expenses for participation in research meetings to be undertaken between 
July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2008.

Up to $800 can be reimbursed for all meetings, domestic or international, although in no case 
can the award exceed the cost of travel and other allowable expenses incurred in connection 
with the meeting. For allowable expenses please refer to 
http://manuals.ucdavis.edu/ppm/300/300-10.htm.

1) Applications will be considered for a maximum of one travel award per fiscal year. 
Applications must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the meeting.  Applications 
submitted after the meeting or not submitted at least two weeks before the departure date 
will not be accepted under any circumstances.

2) Funding will be awarded only for a faculty member's personal presentation of his/her 
original work.

3) If funds must be rationed, priority will be given to those who did not receive a travel 
grant the previous year.  Applications will receive a lower priority if work is to be 
presented to a regional audience rather than an international or national audience.  
Exceptions to the above policy will be made only in rare instances where there are 
extenuating circumstances.  Exceptions will be made at the discretion of the Committee on 
Research Grants committee.

Eligibility: All members of the Academic Senate.  Please refer to Standing Order of the 
Regents 105.1 for information on Academic Senate membership.  

Faculty on leave without pay and emeriti (unless recalled to service) are not eligible.

PROCEDURES:

Complete the application
(http://academicsenate.ucdavis.edu/committee_cor.cfm). 
An application may be submitted pending acceptance of your talk/paper/poster. The Committee 
on Research must receive documentation (e.g., a letter of invitation or acceptance from the 
organizers) confirming the paper or poster presentation before funds can be made available. 
This documentation should be submitted attached to the completed travel voucher, along with 
receipts for transportation, hotel costs and other reimbursable expenses to the Committee 
on Research, Office of the Academic Senate, within fourteen days of completion of the trip.

Travel funds will not be held in reserve for more than 60 days after completion of the trip.  
After 60 days, the funds will not be available and the award will be returned to the 
Committee on Research. 

Save a copy of the e-mail confirmation you will receive shortly after submitting the online 
form. If you do not receive this e-mail, your application has not been successfully submitted, 
or the e-mail address entered on the form is incorrect.
 
The applicant, the Department Chair, and the MSO will receive notification of the award by 
e-mail. This e-mail will also contain instructions for processing of the travel voucher.   
Please contact Kimberly Pulliam, Academic Senate Office with any questions, at (530) 752-4918 
or kapulliam@ucdavis.edu.

Marion Miller
Chair of the Committee on Research
