Travel Awards Program
NOTE: The Supercomputing Institute is discontinuing the travel award
program. MSI will continue to grant travel awards through the
2007-2008 fiscal year. To qualify for a travel award, travel must be
completed by June 30, 2008. For additional information, please
contact Barbara Opal at (612) 625-0012 or opal@msi.umn.edu.
- The Supercomputing Institute provides travel awards for the following types of travel: (i) travel by a University of Minnesota researcher to present supercomputing research results at a conference; (ii) travel by a University of Minnesota faculty member to seek external support for supercomputing research; and (iii) short-term visits of research collaborators or visiting research scholars to the University of Minnesota in order to perform collaborative supercomputing research with one or more university faculty members or in order to plan collaborative grant proposals. The upper limit on travel awards is $2,000. Requests less than $1,000 have the highest priority. A match of no less than 1:1 from non-State funds is required.
- Faculty members of the University of Minnesota may apply for travel awards for their own use or that of their research groups and collaborators.
- Travel awards are granted on the basis of competitive review. The review criteria for this program are available on the World Wide Web at:
www.msi.umn.edu/general/Programs/review.html
or from Barbara Opal, at (612) 625-0012 or opal@msi.umn.edu.
- The deadline is three months before the proposed travel. Earlier submission is encouraged when possible to facilitate planning. Late proposals may be considered, but as a lower priority.
