Found an international conference or workshop?

Stephanie Fabritius <mailto:>>

If, after the Cullen Faculty Development Fund deadline, you have

discovered a "must do" workshop or international conference, we may be

able to help you. This year, we can allocate a few more trips and so

will accept applications for international conferences (as special

participants) or workshops, following Cullen Guidelines. This will be

highly competitive (because we have funds only for a few more items)

and really should be for those of you who discovered these

opportunities after the deadline and really need to go. The deadline

for receipt of these proposals is 8AM on April 17. Send them via

e-mail to Stephanie Fabritius. Use the Cullen Format and be sure your

budget is complete. NOTE: This is very unusual; ordinarily we are

unable to fund anything after the Cullen Deadline Date. Questions?

Contact Stephanie.
