Academics’ professional society meeting reimbursement requests due Sept. 6

Professional society meeting reimbursement requests for academics are being accepted for travel occurring July 1 through Dec. 31, 2021.

Deadline for online submission is Monday, Sept. 6, at 5:00 p.m. (Requests 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 bi-annual period of July 1 through Dec. 31, 2021. There will be a second call closer to the end of the calendar year for travel January 1 - June 30, 2022, and June.  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.
