Greetings,

As you probably have expected there will be a significant reduction in the
budget for faculty travel grants next year.  The Committee on Faculty Grants
has decided to limit individual faculty travel grants next year to a maximum
of $900 per faculty member.  Even with that reduction, we will only be able
to fund approximately 45 travel grants next year.  Although the committee
decided not to limit funded trips to only those faculty presenting results
at a conference, we do ask each faculty member to carefully consider the
importance to his or her professional development of any proposed trip when
deciding whether or not to request travel funds for next year.

On Monday, March 23rd, Amanda Hurd will begin accepting travel grant
proposals for the fiscal year that begins on June 1st.  Traditionally this
early date allows for trip planning for those trips that occur early in the
summer.  

Thanks,
David
