The college offers a program to fund CAST faculty who travel to present research results and instructional activities at conferences or conventions.
The purpose of this program is to encourage and reward the scholarly activities of CAST faculty. It is anticipated that faculty will make these presentations and turn them into refereed publications supported by the CAST Publication Incentive Program.
Faculty are eligible for up to $300 annually in travel funds to present the results of research and instructional activities at conferences/conventions.
Submit your application by e-mail to the head of your academic unit. After reviewing your application to assure adherence to the guidelines, the head of your academic unit will e-mail it to tamclod@ilstu.edu. If accepted, you will receive a letter indicating the amount of the award. When you apply for reimbursement, enclose a copy of the award letter with your travel claim. Funds must be spent within one calendar year.
