Faculty Dissemination Travel Awards

Faculty Dissemination Travel Awards are intended to promote the original research and creative work of faculty within the Sam Fox School at national and international conferences. Through the presence of faculty at significant scholarly gatherings, the School will continue to build its reputation and support the recruitment of exceptional academic peers and students.

All tenured and tenure-track faculty members are eligible to apply. To qualify for an award, faculty members must actively participate in a conference by presenting their original work or scholarship, delivering a keynote address, chairing a panel, or contributing as an invited participant on a panel or formal discussion. In addition, faculty who disseminate creative activity and research through national and international exhibitions may also qualify for an award.

The Faculty Dissemination Travel Awards are funded by the Ralph J. Nagel Deanship Endowment.
