Conference Travel Grants
Purpose
UCAT Conference Travel Grants are designed to support faculty travel to conferences and workshops that focus on the enhancement of teaching and student learning processes. A primary purpose of the travel grants is to increase capacity-building in teaching and learning.
Themes
Faculty may select the conferences and/or workshops they desire to attend. UCAT will fund pedagogical, interdisciplinary and/or disciplinary conferences and/or workshops that address one or more of the following teaching/learning themes:
- Active Learning
- Assessment and e-Portfolios
- Graduate Instruction/Mentoring
- Interdisciplinary Integration
- Promoting Critical Thinking
- New Course or Curriculum Development
Process
UCAT is accepting proposals on a monthly basis from September through April or until funds are expended. The committee will fund grants up to $800 for each award. Proposals are due by the 21st of the each month. Applicants should submit one hard and an electronic copy of the application. Electronic copies should be in rtf or MS Word document formats and sent as an email attachment to Alice Woll (awoll@mail.unomaha.edu). Hard copy submissions should be sent to the Center for Faculty Development in Arts and Sciences Hall 220.
Each year UCAT selects designated conferences that meet the teaching/learning themes, a list of Designated Pedagogical Conferences for 2007-08. If applying for travel to one of these, use the Designated Conference Application form.
