UO Vice President for Research and Innovation Kimberly Espy has announced a new award program to support and enhance UO research.

“Showcasing Oregon Research: Conference Support Awards” are available to tenured or tenure-track, full-time faculty and provide partial support for organizing conferences that promote and encourage scholarship, research and creative work.

The awards are intended to support one-time or initial events, rather than established and/or annual events. Awards will be made up to $1,000. Conference applications will be considered on an ongoing basis.

Financial support may be requested for honorarium and/or travel and expenses for external keynote or distinguished speakers. The speakers may not be employees of the UO. 

Grants are awarded for a one year-period and funds must be used by the end date indicated in the application. Further details and eligibility guidelines are available online.

For more information, contact Research Development Services Director Lynn Stearney at stearney@uoregon.edu, 541-346-8308.
