Industry Studies Travel Grants

A travel grant program is available to Industry Studies Affiliates. Travel grants are designed to promote awareness of the community’s common interests and to support scholarship. Travel grants are available in two categories:

1. For travel to the University of another Affiliate or Sloan Industry Center in order to present a seminar, or for purposes of collaboration on research, teaching, or Center development. Support of this kind will normally be funded at the level of economy air fare and accommodation for 1-2 days. Incidental and per diem expenses for meals, etc. would normally not be included.

2. For organizing and conducting panels at professional society meetings, where the proposed panel would be made up of several Industry Studies Affiliates. Support for panels normally includes economy air fare for all participating Industry Studies Affiliates, and accommodations for 1-2 days. Incidental and per diem expenses for meals, etc. are not included.

Requests for travel support that may fall outside of the parameters described will be considered, if they contribute in a substantial way to Center development or research and teaching in Industry Studies. Awards will not be automatic: all requests will be reviewed under Sloan Foundation guidelines, and funding priorities will be established by the Industry Studies Committee based on the stated criteria.

If you are interested in applying for a travel grant, please send a brief letter proposal (1-2 pages), describing the purpose of the travel, names of all travelers, and the amount requested to the Industry Studies Committee at the following email address: IndustryStudiesCommittee@sloan.org.

If you have any questions, please contact Gail Pesyna (pesyna@sloan.org), or Frank Giarratani (frankg@pitt.edu).
