Conference and Workshop Awards

In an effort to encourage the University of Kentucky as a possible site for regional, national or international professional organizations' conferences and workshops, faculty may submit a brief proposal for partial support (maximum of $5,000) of such conferences.  Proposals should indicate why supporting the workshop will enhance the university's visibility, competitiveness for future funding, or status.

  • detailed budget including costs and income which may be collected from prospective participants
  • any financial support that may be coming from departments, colleges or other sources.

  • Symposium expenses such as room rental, audiovisual services

Research cannot support costs for:

  • Social events associated with the symposium
