Travel awards are available for UNAC faculty per article 5 of the CBA. Faculty Travel Awards for professional development are available through the Provost's Office and will require at least one of the following:

• Presentation of original paper at a scholarly and professional meeting/conference


• Invitation to participate at a regional, national or international exhibition or performance


• Research or creative activity that leads directly to exhibition, performance or publication


• Faculty development at teaching or learning conferences

The application must include:

• A brief description of the activity, including the submitted abstract, program schedule or letter of invitation, if applicable


• A description of how this will contribute to your development as a faculty member


• If it is for travel when classes are in session, a plan should be included for how classes will be covered during the absence


• Signature of approval from the department chair and dean/institute director for this activity

Only completed applications will be accepted for consideration

Faculty members may be eligible to receive one travel grant award during a fiscal year (July 1-June 30). Not all applications will be approved based on amount of travel funds available. The travel funds are available to all UNAC faculty members, but preference will be given to non-tenured, tenure-track faculty and those who have completed their required employee training (e.g., Title IX, FERPA or other safety trainings) and who have NOT received UNAC travel awards in the past year. Faculty members on sabbatical may apply for the travel award, but preference will be given to faculty members who are not on sabbatical.

All proposals must be sent to the Office of the Provost either by email at uaf.provost@alaska.edu or dropped off at 311 Signers’ Hall by the deadline date. Please contact the Provost’s Office at 474-7096 or 474-6634 for questions.

Reminder: Your submission (nomination/proposal) is only complete when you’ve submitted the required documents (including signatures if needed) for your proposal and/or nomination. Please review the guidelines and requirements for the nomination and/or proposal that you are submitting.
