International Travel

Funds from the Dean’s Office portion of salary savings will be set aside to support international travel where the faculty member is the first or solo author of an accepted research paper. These funds will be administered through the Research Office. Faculty members should discuss proposed international travel with their department heads to determine what contribution will be made by the department from departmental sources such as in-directs or salary release. Some departmental contribution is required for every trip. The department head must indicate the departmental contribution and provide written support for the requested trip and sign off on all requests first.

Using the form from the Office of the Vice President of Research (http://www.ovpr.uga.edu/docs/forms/iga/FT-Application.pdf ), the faculty member and department head will describe the nature and importance of the international meeting and list the amount of the departmental contribution. Attach the letter or email communicating the acceptance of the paper.

These requests will be due in the Office of the Associate Dean for Research the second Tuesday in December and the fourth Tuesday in February, May, and September, or the last working day leading up to these deadlines, to review prior to the deadlines for international travel requests set by the Office of the Vice President of Research (see table below). The $12,000 set aside in the College for international travel will be divided into four travel periods with awards of up to $1,000 available within each travel period. This should insure that funds are available for spring semester travel opportunities. Requests will be reviewed by the Dean’s Cabinet and results communicated in time to submit requests to the Office of the Vice President of Research.
