University
Research Foundation: Conference Support
Also
see the University
Research Foundation
Guidelines and Fall
2003 Awards.
The
conference support program is designed for scholarly meetings
that will be convened on the Penn campus, thereby providing
enrichment opportunities to interested faculty, students,
and staff, most frequently in the format of a 1-2 day colloquium.
The intent is to support meetings that are designed to
enhance existing research and scholarly programs, particularly
in disciplines where external funding is difficult to obtain.
Funding will be limited to no more than $3,000 per event,
and should be dedicated to reimbursing the speakers
for travel and accommodations, but not for meals and
entertainment. It is expected that funding from the University
Research Foundation will supplement funding from other
sources and will not be the sole source of funding for
the meeting. Grants will not become "entitlements" and
cannot be renewed in successive years.
Applications
for the Conference Support Program will be processed in
the same cycles that now are used for URF project applications, (March
15 and November 1) and will be reviewed by the same
committees. Applications should be brief, usually no more
than 3 pages, and should include:

member (tenure
