Available Travel and Publication Expense Awards

The College of Sciences presents two award opportunities for faculty to further their research through dissemination of creative and research products and pursuit of new opportunities. The Research Dissemination and Travel (DT) Awards support activities that allow faculty to achieve prominence in research, scholarly, and creative activities while increasing the national and international recognition of UCF. Awards will be given on a first-come-first served basis until COS funding ($50,000) is exhausted. Please note: all UCF/COS travel policies and procedures need to be followed by traveler.

The COS DT Awards match funds from the department or faculty member up to $250 for travel to support research networking and development (for example, traveling to meet with program managers or establishing collaborations at other institutions) and up to $500 toward expenses for dissemination of research or creative works (for example, publication charges or travel to a conference to make a presentation of results).

All full-time faculty members who are currently externally funded or who have submitted a competitive research proposal within the last 12 months to an external funding agency recognized by UCF are eligible to apply. Each applicant is eligible to receive one award per category (DT1 and DT2) each year.
