If you’re looking to obtain external funding, the Office of Research Administration can help you with travel expenses.    

If you’re a potential PI, you can receive reimbursement of up to $1,500 for travel expenses related to visiting program managers of various funding agencies or attending proposal development conferences for future proposal submissions! 

Funding is limited for this program. Therefore, it’s essential to gain authorization for the funding before departure by filling out the Travel Fund Request Form.

Please note that your department is responsible for covering travel expenses upfront, and the ORA will reimburse the Department once a proposal has been submitted.
