Professional Meetings Relating to Teaching

Application Deadlines:

  • September 15
  • November 15
  • February 15
  • April 3

Budget Guidelines: Applications must include a budget. Professional meetings relating to teaching ordinarily follow guidelines for second conferences: http://www.grinnell.edu/offices/dean/forms/facultytravelguide/. If the meeting is related to interdisciplinary initiatives endorsed by the Office of Interdisciplinary Studies and the faculty member's department, the more generous budget guidelines for first professional meetings will apply. Once the maximum budget is established faculty members may be reimbursed for expenses up to that total, regardless of expense line. For instance funds saved in travel may be applied to lodging.

  • Registration: maximum $100
  • Transportation: within 350 miles - maximum $250; greater than 350 miles - maximum $400
  • Meals & lodging for those giving presentations or chairing sessions: $150 per diem (meals/gratuities alone are reimbursable at no more than $55 per day)
  • Meals & lodging for those attending: $50 per diem
