Call for Dependent Care Travel Grant Applications for the 2017-2018 Academic Year

The Dependent Care Travel Grant program (DCTG) is now open for 2017-2018 academic year applications from eligible Senate Faculty who incur dependent care expenses related to traveling to perform research or to attend regional, national, or international conferences or professional meetings. DCTG funds may be used to offset dependent care expenses at an alternate location, such as a hotel or conference site, or for dependent care at home while the faculty member is traveling.

Applications for grants should be submitted for grant pre-approval no less than 30 days before planned travel. Senate Faculty members may receive one IEVC-funded dependent care travel grant per fiscal year, not exceeding $2500 total. Applications will be reviewed on a first come, first serve basis, by date of receipt. Early application is encouraged.

Guidelines, Eligibility Information & Application Forms are available on this website:
