Due to budget constraints, only faculty members in the promotion-eligible tracks (i.e., tenure-track or instructional-track faculty at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or full Professor) will be eligible for travel funding in 2026-2027.
As soon as a faculty member submits an abstract/conference proposal (or as soon as a faculty member receives a direct invitation to present at a conference without having to submit an abstract/proposal), they must immediately complete the new E.A.S.Y. form; this stands for “Encumber at Submission, Yes!”.
IMPORTANT: Failure to complete the E.A.S.Y. form within 1 week of conference submission (or direct invitation) may result in a loss of travel funding.
