Greetings,

Since my previous message (read below) several faculty have asked for their (first) travel grant.  After those grants are calculated, it looks like the travel funds are now essentially gone.  I have talked with 6 additional faculty about receiving ?second round? funding.  I will contact those faculty individually but even if we can support a couple of them, it is certain that we can?t help anyone else.

Thanks,
David

To date: 
61 travel grant applications 
Total requested: $55,199.16 
Average request: $919.99 
Total funded: $46,600.00 
Average amt funded: $763.94 
Funds remaining: $8,776.67 


At this point in the year we usually have no funds remaining.  It seems that this year we have a few dollars remaining and I want to make certain that we use every penny available before the end of the fiscal year (May 31).  So,...

If you intend to apply for a faculty travel grant this year and you have not done so yet, please do so by Feb. 1 (or at least let me know that a grant is forthcoming).  After Feb. 1, I will start accepting proposals for a second travel grant from those who have already had one travel grant this year.  I will fund these on a first-come, first-served basis.  Of course, these grants must be used for conferences that are held before May 31 so that will probably not be particularly helpful to many of you but I?ll do what I can.

Thanks,
David
