Speaker Grant Information
Speaker Grants will be funded up to $1,500 per application.
Colleges are encouraged to invite preeminent speakers in their disciplines to interact with UNO faculty members. Although the speaker's topic may be discipline specific, all UNO faculty members should be invited to attend at least one session with the speaker.
All UCAT grant applications will be completed through UNO's NuRAMP (formerly MavGrants) system. NO PAPER copies of applications will be accepted.
All applications MUST be reviewed by your UCAT college representative prior to final submission. A list of college representatives may be found this website.
Poorly described, incomplete, or unclear applications will be rejected.
Faculty may not receive more than one award for each grant category for the academic year.
Applicants will be informed of the funding decision following the UCAT committee meeting held following the application deadline.
All previous grant reports must be submitted prior to consideration of new grant applications.
