Academic professional meeting reimbursement requests due Dec. 10

Academic Assembly Council is accepting requests for reimbursement for travel to professional society meetings being held Jan. 1 through June 30, 2022.

Deadline for online submission: Friday, Dec. 10 at 5:00 p.m. (Submissions will be accepted electronically only. No exceptions.)

The Academic Assembly Council (AAC) travel awards support travel to professional society meetings, primarily for the reporting and exchange of knowledge among members. Cooperative Extension academics are eligible for one meeting approval per fiscal year (July 1 – June 30). Academic Assembly Council approval is only for expense reimbursement from the Professional Society Meeting Fund. Leave with pay to attend the meeting must be approved by your immediate supervisor.

This call is for the biannual period of January 1 – June 30, 2022. There will be a second call in early summer for the July 1– December 31, 2022, period. The total amount of awards granted and the criteria for awards remain unchanged.

Applications are scored based on set criteria. Priority scoring is given to applicants new to their positions, presenting papers, or with special functions within the society/meeting.
