A new U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) funded faculty travel grant program will support up to 50 early-to-mid career faculty from under-resourced U.S. undergraduate-focused institutions, such as Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and community colleges (2YCs) to attend the fall AGU24 annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
From the program announcement:
The goal of this pilot project is to create the foundation for a longer-term sustainable program to broaden participation in the AGU annual conference, and better support a more institutionally-diverse, networked, professional geoscience community. Our primary objective is to offer $1700 travel stipends to support 50 early-to-mid-career geoscience faculty at under-resourced U.S. 2- and 4-year colleges and universities (including ERIs, MSIs and 2YCs) to attend the 2024 AGU annual conference.
Recipients of the grants will receive:
- A $1,700 travel stipend to attend the 2024 AGU annual conference
- Professional development workshop
- Networking and social events
Applications will be accepted in two rounds, with Round 1 running from 15 May - 8 July 2024. Round 2 will start in the fall of 2024.
