Purpose

Dissemination Grants are designed to defray costs of attending a virtual or in-person conference. The use of funds requires the dissemination of the applicant's original research or creative effort.

Eligibility

All tenured and tenure-track faculty members, visiting professors, and affiliates are eligible. To qualify for a  conference dissemination grant, the faculty member must actively participate in the meeting by presenting their original work, chairing a panel, serving as an officer of a professional association, or contributing as a stated participant in a formal discussion. Speaking or delivering a paper as a lecturer or visitor at another university does not qualify for use of these funds, unless the event is a meeting that includes faculty from other universities. 

Funding Limitations

Two awards are available per faculty member per fiscal year: $800 for international travel, or $600 for travel within the United States, for the first event; and $250 for the second event. One event per grant application will be supported.

Reimbursement Requirements

Beginning July 1, 2021, your expenses are incurred on a GVSU pcard, or reimbursed from your department through Concur. Your support staff will submit a request in OnBase to have your grant funds returned to the department. The Center reimburses department funds when all grant criteria are met.

Recipients of Conference Dissemination Grants must submit a final report of up to one page long outlining the outcomes of the grant. Reimbursements will not be processed to the department without the accompanying report. Again, go to: www.gvsu.edu/csce/grants to submit your final report on your grant application.

The report should outline any significant contacts made at the meeting, new insights gained, or associations developed that may advance the faculty member’s research and creative activities or lead to leadership positions in appropriate organizations, etc. Those faculty members not submitting a report within 30 days of returning from the travel will be ineligible for future grants until this requirement has been met.

*Note: Incorrect unit head emails are a common hang-up in the review process. Copying and pasting your unit head's email from the GVSU People Finder is a good way to ensure the correct email is listed.
