UC San Diego’s General Campus Research Grant Committee supports travel to scholarly meetings where Academic Senate faculty share research or creative work. The program covers participation in national and international conferences and symposia to present research papers or organize and preside over meeting sessions. It also supports workshops and other ad hoc gatherings of prominent academic community members, including meetings not sponsored by a continuing professional society.
Travel for the initial presentation of works of art or creative expression at important public events, such as festivals, may also qualify. Preference goes to presentations at well-established conferences, symposia, or festivals with substantial attendance, including events sponsored by professional societies and associations.
