To support faculty research and scholarship and overall professional development, the Offices of the President, Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs, Vice President for Administration and Finance, and the Vice President for Research, Innovation, and Economic Development have allocated $200,000.00 in travel funding for full time faculty.

Beginning with the 2023-24 academic year, faculty will have two opportunities to apply for travel grant funding. The two initiatives include the  Faculty Research Travel Grant  and the  Faculty Professional Development Travel Grant . Faculty may receive  one  travel grant in  each  category within one yearly cycle if eligibility criteria are met.

Faculty Research Travel Grant

Faculty research travel to national and international peer-reviewed conferences for presentations of original scholarship, as well as travel for the purpose of collaborating with program managers of funding agencies.  Eligible faculty members must hold full-time positions; visiting/emergency temporary faculty, and adjuncts are not eligible to apply.

Faculty  must  be  conducting a conference presentation and submission of a  notice of acceptance  of a conference proposal is  required  in the application.

Individual grant award funds have been increased this year with funding allocated in the amount of $1,000 or $1,500 (a reduced amount may be provided to align with anticipated total travel expenditures).

While all full-time faculty applications will be considered for funding, awarding of funds will be prioritized based on the following criteria:

• Graduate faculty with Full Membership (formerly Level II) status,
• Graduate faculty who teach or research in a doctoral program,
• Tenured or tenure-track status (Professor and Associate Professor rankings prioritized),
• Faculty who  do not  hold an Endowed Professorship or Endowed Chair,
• Non-STEM faculty and/or non-STEM presentations,
• Availability of other funding sources (such as, professorship stipends, grant funding),
• Purpose of proposed travel,
• Contribution of travel to the faculty member, department, college, and/or University, and
• Overall quality of the application.

Faculty Research Travel Grant Guidelines can be found at  Faculty Travel Grant Guidelines

Faculty Professional Development Travel Grant

Faculty travel to professional conferences relative to the faculty’s discipline or professional development interests. Funds are available for attendance at various conference levels including national and international, regional, state, and online conferences. Eligible faculty members must hold full-time positions, including visiting/emergency temporary faculty; however, adjunct faculty are not eligible for these funds.

A conference presentation is  not  required for eligibility for the Faculty Professional Development Travel Grant. Faculty presenting at multiple conferences may apply for both a Faculty Research Travel Grant  and  a Faculty Professional Development Travel Grant. However, only one travel grant may be received in each grant category.

Grant award funds for Faculty Professional Development Travel will be allocated in the amount of $750 or $1,000 (a reduced amount may be provided to align with anticipated total travel expenditures).

Message from Secretary

"SERB supports research in frontier areas of Science and Engineering. A regular faculty / researcher in an academic / research institution can seek research support to carry out his/her research. Board also gives special attention to young scientists below the age of 35 years (relaxable by 5 years in the case of SC/ST/OBC, woman and physically handicapped category) to undertake independent research in newly emerging and frontier areas of science and engineering."

One of the most notable developments in the S&T sector in the XI Plan has been the setting up of the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) through an Act of Parliament, viz. the Science and Engineering Research Board Act, 2008. Promoting basic research in Science and Engineering and to provide financial assistance to persons engaged in such research, academic institutions, research and development laboratories, industrial concerns and other agencies for such research and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto are the primary and distinctive mandate of the Board.

SERB aims to build up best management systems which would match the best global practices in the area of promotion and funding of basic research.

The development of the nation is intimately linked with understanding and application of science and technology by its people.

Har Govind Khorana

Indian-born biochemist who shared the 1968 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Marshall W. Nirenberg and Robert W Holley for research that helped to show how the nucleotides in nucleic acids, which carry the genetic code of the cell, control the cell’s synthesis of proteins.

Harish Chandra

I have often pondered over the roles of knowledge or experience, on the one hand, and imagination or intuition, on the other, in the process of discovery. I believe that there is a certain fundamental conflict between the two, and knowledge, by advocating caution, tends to inhibit the flight of imagination.

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

This is my belief: that through difficulties and problems God gives us the opportunity to grow. So when your hopes and dreams and goals are dashed, search among the wreckage, you may find a golden opportunity hidden in the ruins.

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman

In the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge.

Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose

The true laboratory is the mind, where behind illusions we uncover the laws of truth.

Srinivasa Ramanujan

An equation means nothing to me unless it expresses a thought of God.

Homi Jehangir Bhabha

A scientific institution, be it a laboratory or an academy, has to be grown with great care like a tree. Its growth in terms of quality and achievement can only be accelerated to a very limited extent.

Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray

The health of our country can only be regenerated by the regeneration of its villages - in the prosperity of its ponds and rivers, agriculture and orchards, in its animal husbandry and poultry. I do not think there is a lack of food resources in our country. We have to turn to them.

Meghnad Saha

Scientists are often accused of living in the 'Ivory Tower' and not troubling their mind with realities and apart from my association with political movements in my juvenile years, I had lived in ivory tower up to 1930. But science and technology are as important for administration now-a-days as law and order. I have gradually glided into politics because I wanted to be of some use to the country in my own humble way.

Darashaw Nosherwan Wadia
