Funding Opportunity: Southeastern Conference Visiting Faculty Travel Grant Program

Dr. Angel Kwolek-Folland, Associate Provost for Academic and Faculty Affairs

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) Visiting Faculty Travel Grant Program is intended to enhance faculty collaboration that stimulates scholarly initiatives between SEC universities.

This initiative gives faculty from one SEC university the opportunity to travel to another SEC campus to: exchange ideas; develop grant proposals; conduct research; consult with faculty and/or students; offer lectures or symposia; or engage in whatever activities are agreeable to the visitor and host unit.

The University of Florida can select a maximum of four faculty members to receive 2013-2014 grants of $2,500 each (transportation, room, board, etc). Travel dates for these visits must be between November 1, 2013 and July 15, 2014.  

The deadline to apply is September 27, 2013, and details are available at the Provost’s office  website. Or, http://www.aa.ufl.edu/Data/Sites/18/media/documents/sec-visiting-faculty-travel-grants.pdf
