AGU Travel Awards for Early-to-mid Career Faculty
May 21, 2024
A new NSF-funded faculty travel grant to James Madison University will support up to 50 early-to-mid career faculty from under-resourced U.S. undergraduate-focused institutions, such as Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and community colleges (2YCs) to attend, in person, the AGU24 annual meeting in Washington, D.C., this fall.
Travel grant awardees will receive a $1,700 travel stipend. Additionally, awardees will participate in professional development workshops as well as networking and social events; review student presentations for Outstanding Student Participation Awards; and potentially co-chair sessions.
For more information on this faculty travel grant program and how to apply, visit the NSF-funded Travel Grant Program webpage or the AGU website. Questions regarding this award should be directed to Kristen St John (stjohnke@jmu.edu) or Kusali Gamage (kgamage@austincc.edu).
