Pew FTLC: Faculty Travel Grant Announcement

Date: August 7, 2008

A note from Dr. Kurt Ellenberger concerning application deadlines for faculty travel grants is as follows:

Dear Colleagues

Thank you for your patience during the last weeks as we prepared and tested a major upgrade to the Faculty Travel Grant website.  The most noticeable change from the user's perspective is in the application deadlines.  The previous deadlines were disadvantageous to those faculty members attending conferences late in any given quarter.  The new deadlines correct this inequity.


New Application Deadlines:

Applications will be accepted on the first day of the quarter before the quarter in which the travel takes place (end date of travel is the date determining the operative quarter of activity).  They will continue to be accepted until the last day of the travel quarter, or until funds run out.

1st Quarter (July 1-Sept. 30)
Applications will be accepted starting on April 1, ending on Sept. 30
(or until funds are depleted).

2nd Quarter (Oct. 1-Dec. 31)
Applications will be accepted starting on July 1, ending on Dec. 31
(or until funds are depleted).

3rd Quarter (Jan. 1-March 31)
Applications will be accepted starting on Oct. 1, ending on March 31
(or until funds are depleted).

4th Quarter (April 1-June 30)
Applications will be accepted starting on Jan. 1, ending on June 30
(or until funds are depleted).


The site is now open and ready to accept your applications for the second quarter of this fiscal year.

You can contact  Dr. Kurt Ellenberger with any questions or concerns.
