The Department of Integrative Biology (IB) encourages graduate students to engage in their research community at local, regional, national, and international professional conferences or workshops. Travel grants are available for masters and doctoral graduate students, provided they meet the criteria outlined below.

The maximum award amounts are $500 for domestic travel and $750 for international travel (note: students may or may not receive the entire amount requested). Applications for travel funds will be evaluated by the IB Awards, Scholarship and Outreach (ASO) Committee.

Students are also encouraged to apply for travel funds through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS), and the Provost’s office. The remainder of the cost of travel should be met by the advisor and/or other sources.
