Research Travel

Associated forms: Research Travel Grant Application

The Graduate School uses the Travel Research Grant program to supplement outside awards that are related to research travel and that are given during the academic year. Students who are conducting research, traveling, or performing other academic activities off-campus during the academic year may apply for this grant. (Students enrolled in degree programs in the Division of Biology and Medicine are not eligible for the program.)

An award from this program can only be used to supplement dollar-for-dollar non-Graduate School awards related to research travel and up to a maximum of $1,800 per academic year. Travel funds are limited, and awards are given out each year until the fund has been exhausted.

To apply for a research travel grant, you will need to provide the following at least 30 days before your planned research travel:

• a one-page description of your proposed academic activities
• a full budget for these activities
• documented confirmation of your outside grants
• a completed copy of the Graduate School's Research Travel Grant application, which needs to be signed by your department's Director of Graduate Study
