¹ú²úÂ鶹AV

¹ú²úÂ鶹AV faculty members are invited to apply for the Southeastern Conference Visiting Faculty Travel Grant Program through July 22.

The SEC Visiting Faculty Travel Grant Program is intended to enhance faculty collaboration that stimulates scholarly initiatives between SEC universities. It gives faculty from one SEC university the opportunity to travel to another SEC campus to: Ìýexchange 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.

¹ú²úÂ鶹AV can select a maximum of 12 faculty members to receive 2022-2023 travel grants of $850 each for transportation, room, board, etc., to use for travel to another SEC campus (SEC member universities listed below). Travel dates for these visits are between August 1, 2022 and June 9, 2023. The faculty member will contact a host unit (e.g., department, research center, school, etc.) that he or she wishes to visit to determine that unit’s receptivity and availability. The selected faculty members will be responsible for arranging coverage of their duties during their absence. After the visit, the faculty member must submit a brief report describing the outcomes of the visit.

To be considered for one of ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV’s SEC travel grants please submit the following in one PDF file via email attachment to Dr. Teresa Gammill: tgammill@research.msstate.edu and copy Lynn Taylor: ltaylor@research.msstate.edu by 5:00 on Friday, July 22, 2022.
