State-of-the-Art Conference Grants deadline extended to April 25

• Submission deadline: Monday, April 25

The deadline to submit proposals to host a State-of-the-Art Conference in the 2022-23 academic year has been extended to Monday, April 25.

Proposals should originate from faculty whose contributions to the scholarly or creative focus of the proposed conference enable them to attract other leading scholars to campus. Priority will be given to conferences with an international component, particularly those with the promise of international collaborations.

By design, State-of-the-Art Conferences embrace novel gatherings and innovative themes that are not already routine or recurring with a base of support. As such, absent exceptional circumstances, regular meetings of campus organizations or established academic societies do not fit the grant’s purpose.

State-of-the-Art Conferences may be developed by individual faculty members or a small team of faculty. Team proposals for interdisciplinary conferences are strongly encouraged. The applicant must secure at least 50% of the funds needed for the conference from other sources, and the commitment for these other funds must be secured in writing and submitted with the State-of-the-Art Conference Grant proposal.
