UKAN+ Regular Travel Grant Program
The UKAN+ regular travel grant aims to support travel to UKAN+ events (both Early Career (EC) and non-EC researchers), and to support non-EC researchers for individual travel attending academic events (e.g. conference, workshop), initiative visits for collaboration, etc.
Program requirements and process
- You should be a UKAN+ member who cannot secure funding for travel elsewhere and who is not an EPSRC funded researcher/PhD.
- The request should be submitted 3 weeks in advance of the travel to a UK event and 1 month before international travel, with evidence of confirmation to attend. Zoë will aim to respond to the request within 2 weeks of the request.
- The requested funding should be proportionate and reasonable with justification provided, ideally with expected matched funding by the employer organisation.
- Process: apply using the UKAN+ Travel Grant Form. When your application is approved, book your travel arrangements. To claim, forward the approved UKAN+ Travel Form/email, completed Expenses claim form (requested from Network Manager, Aisling and paying attention to the guidance notes) and receipts to Ashling. If you are University of Sheffield Staff please follow the internal process.
- In submitting an application, the successful applicant agrees to complete a copy of the Outcomes of UK Acoustics Network Plus Travel Grant Form within 1 month of the end of the visit.
