Requesting an Int'l Programs Office International Travel Grant

International Travel Grants provide support for international travel for research or to present the results of research at international conferences. Grants normally range from $300 – $500, although proposals meeting the review criteria may receive additional support. Tenured, tenure-track, and clinical faculty members at the University of Iowa are eligible. In an effort to provide resources and opportunities leading to tenure, junior faculty will receive a slightly higher level of support.

Applicants are required to contact their department and/or college for initial financial support and should include in their application and as part of their budget a clear indication of the level of support that each unit is providing. Applications will be reviewed five times each year by a faculty committee.

Annual application deadlines are:

September 1     November 1      February 1      April 1

Procedures:

  1. Read the International Travel Grant guidelines for important information.
  2. An application for an International Travel Grant must be completed. The application can be completed and sent to the International Programs Office.
  3. Send via campus mail any hard copies of documentation needed to support the application (see item H on the application), including the completed College of Education Application for International Travel Support.
  4. Upon returning from your trip, send a brief written report to the International Programs Office (below) of what was accomplished during the trip and any anticipated follow-up activities, along with a completed and signed travel expense voucher.
