Previous Awardees by Fiscal Year: 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019

PURPOSE: IANR Travel funds are granted quarterly on a competitive basis for faculty travel to present original scholarly work at professional and scholarly meetings (Research, Teaching and/or Extension).

IANR faculty may receive funds from this program to travel to one professional meeting within a continuous 12-month period. Funds cannot exceed $500 per trip (U.S.) or $800 per trip (international). Expenses can include transportation (not to exceed coach class airfare), registration, lodging, meals, etc. Approved University travel procedures must be followed.

ARD will review applications on a quarterly basis—usually within two weeks after the quarterly submission deadlines of January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15. Funds will NOT be provided for travel that occurred prior to ARD review and approval of these applications.

ELIGIBILITY: All IANR faculty (including Extension Educators) are eligible. Applicants must be full time (1.0 FTE). Postdoctoral Fellows are not eligible. The applicant must also be the presenter. This program is highly subscribed; we often cannot fund all eligible applicants. Priority will usually be given to early career faculty.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND APPLICATION FORMAT: Applications for these awards will be accepted ONLY via NuRamp (https://nuramp.nebraska.edu).
