Albany State University
Center for Teaching, Learning and Scholarship
Faculty Travel Grant Program
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 1, 2015
TO: All Faculty, Chairs and Deans
FROM: Melvin A. Shelton, Director
Center for Teaching, Learning and Scholarship
RE: CTLS Faculty Travel Grant Program
Spring Deadline: March 14 for travel that takes place between January 1-June 30, 2016;
Fall Deadline: October 15 for travel that takes place between July 1-December 31, 2016.
(Deadlines will be on the following Monday if the deadline dates above fall on a weekend.)
Albany State University is committed to fostering the engagement and publicizing of new
research and supporting its faculty in this endeavor. The Center for Teaching, Learning and
Scholarship (CTLS) Faculty Travel Grants exist for this purpose. Although CTLS utilizes strict
guidelines for the distribution of funds to ensure fairness and equity throughout the university, I
would like to emphasize the availability of travel funds distributed by CTLS as a vehicle for
Albany State University to continue its strong presence in the research community.
A few words on how we determine eligibility. First, the candidate must fulfill the criteria stated in
the attached guidelines. In general, the committee criteria specify that travel Funds will be
awarded to full time tenured or tenure-track faculty presenting peer-reviewed papers at national
or international conferences. Secondly, priority will be given to applicants who have no
alternative sources of support, as stated in the first paragraph of the guidelines.
Thirdly, priority will be given to applicants who have not recently received support from this
program, as described in the second paragraph on page two of the attached guidelines. The
application form includes an area for each applicant to indicate his/her recent support history
from the program. If more qualified applicants are received than funds available, the highest
priority will be given to applicant(s) who have not received an award in the last three years, with
subsequent priority being assigned to those who have received one award, then two awards,
then three awards.
2
The Program supports up to $1000 in travel support that may be applied to the costs of
conference attendance and participation in the U.S. and up to $1500 in travel support for
conferences held outside of the U.S. (Meals are not reimbursable through the Faculty Travel
Grant.)
Spring 2016 applications for travel that occurred or will occur between January 1 and June 30,
must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on or before March 15th of same year, and Fall Applications for
travel that occurred or will occur between July 1 and December 31, must be submitted on or
before 5:00 p.m., October 15th of same year. Further details are provided in the enclosed
material. The original application along with any supporting documentation should be submitted
to Dr. Melvin A. Shelton, Center for Teaching, Learning & Scholarship, Reese Building Room
126. A copy of the completed application should be submitted to the Dean and the Department
Chairperson of the applicant’s department.
Please direct questions about the administration of the program to Dr. Melvin A. Shelton at
melvin.shelton@asurams.edu or Mrs. Dedra S. Williams at dedra.williams@asurams.edu, in the
Center for Teaching, Learning and Scholarship. Telephone number 229-430-1632.
I look forward to an active year of scholarship among our research community and the
opportunity to facilitate those activities through the CTLS Travel Grant Program.

Faculty Travel Grant Guidelines
Purpose
The Center for Teaching, Learning and Scholarship (CTLS) Faculty Travel Grant
Program is designed to assist Albany State University's tenured and tenure-track faculty
members enhance their professional development by presenting the results of their
research or creative activity at meetings with a national or international audience. The
Program supports up to $1000 in travel support that may be applied to the costs of
conference attendance and participation in the U.S. and up to $1500 in travel support
for conferences held outside of the U.S. The Program is designed to give priority to
professional travel that cannot be funded from other sources such as departmental
budgets or research grants that include funds for such purposes.
Nature of Support
The CTLS will support the most economical and practical transportation, hotel and
conference registration costs up to a maximum of $1,000.00. (Meals are not
reimbursable through the CTLS Faculty Travel Grant.) The application form requests an
actual quote on the transportation costs along with a description of any conditions
attached to the fare. All applicants are encouraged to find the most economical prices
as the funding committed reserves the right to support only part of the travel costs if it
finds that the applicant's travel costs were needlessly excessive. The travel grant will
reimburse either an individual or a unit (department, college, institute, as appropriate)
for the amount awarded. However, the following units will not be reimbursed by the
CTLS Faculty Travel Grant Program: ASU Foundation, Enrollment Services, Student
Affairs, Fiscal Affairs, and Research & Sponsored Programs.
Qualifications
Applicants must hold a full time tenured or tenure-track position on the faculty of Albany
State University during the academic year in which the travel occurs. Individuals with
"visiting" status are not eligible unless the "visiting" status is solely because the
applicant is awaiting the appropriate visa from the federal government; in this case the
application must be accompanied by a letter from the applicant's chair or dean
confirming this status and situation in detail. Retired faculty members are not eligible.
CTLS will only support the travel costs of the faculty member who is actually presenting
the work. The Program will not support the costs for co-authors, regardless of affiliation.
4
In special cases such as duet performances this limitation may be waived by the faculty
committee, but it is the responsibility of the applicants in such cases to provide a clear
and reasonable written explanation for the waiver.
The Faculty Travel Grant funds will support an individual's costs for only one meeting or
event in a single academic year. Each faculty member is limited to making only one
application for the Faculty Travel Grant. In certain circumstances an individual may
attend two meetings on a single excursion. It is the applicant's responsibility to decide
the meeting for which support will be requested.
Once an application has been approved, no substitutions will be allowed; if an individual
wishes to use the program’s funds to support a presentation other than the one for
which the original application was submitted, he/she must submit an entirely new
application for the alternative event prior to the application deadline.
Budget limitations in any academic year may require more stringent criteria for support.
The Program may give priority to applicants who have not recently received this
support. The applicant must list the last three academic years in which he/she has
received this support. The administrators of the travel grant may prorate each approved
applicant's request based on the total funds requested and the amount of funds
available.
Types of Meetings For Which Support Is Available
The Faculty Travel Grant funds will support travel to present an individual's work at a
variety of venues provided that the venue is a regularly scheduled location, and the
event is one of a national, regional, or international scope. These venues include
regular or annual meetings of a national (US or another country's national society) or
international professional society; quadrennial (or otherwise periodically occurring)
international congresses that are sponsored by a number of national professional
societies. Professional societies are usually defined as those that collect dues, have
elected officers, develop rules and regulations, sets guidelines, and may have published
journals or other outlets for scholarly work. These venues also are used regularly for
meetings sponsored by a government agency or industrial society, meetings that are of
an academic nature and take place annually or biennially; juried competitions of a
national or international scope that are held regularly; regular conferences on specified
topics at which attendance is by invitation and is considered a prestigious
accomplishment; and invited performances at regularly occurring meetings/festivals.
In general, the committee criteria specify that travel funds will be awarded to full time
tenured or tenure-track faculty presenting peer-reviewed academic research papers at
regional, national or international conferences. By definition, these papers will not
include a "response," or roundtable paper.
The Faculty Travel funds will support travel to present a poster only if all of the following
criteria are fulfilled: (a) the meeting is of one of the types described above; (b) the
5
participants are restricted to poster presentations, or else other forms of presentation
are severely limited (that is, only 10% or so of presenter openings are for full papers);
and (c) poster presentations are refereed for acceptance. It is the applicant's
responsibility to provide specific evidence that a request for support for a poster
presentation fulfills all of these criteria or to make a clear argument for the waiver of one
or more of the criteria.
The Faculty Travel Grant funds will not support certain types of presentations. The
travel grant will not support a presentation or series of presentations at other
universities, museums, or institutions that are, in effect, an invited lecture or lecture
series. The Program will not support travel to a meeting of experts interested in a
narrowly circumscribed subject or area (e.g. a one-time symposium sponsored by a
university or a department). The Program will not support attendance at a meeting
solely to "chair" a session or to discharge the obligations incurred by holding office in
the sponsoring professional society.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the description of the venue for the
presentation makes clear that the venue falls within the guidelines of the Program.
Questions about eligibility should be addressed to the chair of the faculty committee
charged with the administration of the Program.
Implementation
The Program has two rounds for application and support. The first round for funds (fall)
covers travel from July 1 through December 31, of an academic year. The second round
(spring) covers travel from January 1 through June 30 of an academic year.
Approximately half of the available funds will be assigned for awards in each round. It is
the intent of the Program to distribute all available funds, so if applications in the second
round do not use all of the funds set aside for those applications the committee will
return to the unfunded applications from the first round and provide reimbursement until
all funds have been expended.
It is the individual faculty member's responsibility to meet the application deadline for
the appropriate period and to ensure that the application and all supporting material is
complete and clear. The Faculty Travel Grant Committee will not consider incomplete
applications. Questions concerning necessary information and supporting materials
should be addressed to the administrative specialist in the Center for Teaching,
Learning and Scholarship.
