Applications are now open for the Fall 2026 Provost Professional Conference Support Funds. This program will provide up to $2,000 per tenured or tenure-track Albuquerque campus faculty member for the purpose of travel to present a paper or results at a professional conference, or to attend an exhibition or performance of their own creative work. Applications can be submitted through InfoReady and are due by 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 21. 

Please note a new requirement for Fall 2026: A final report will be required for those who receive the award, outlining logistics and impacts that the travel opportunity had on awardee’s professional and scholarly development. Final reports will be due no later than June 1, at the end of the academic year travelled, and may be submitted in InfoReady. Funding recipients will not be eligible for further Provost Professional Conference Support Funds until the final report has been received. Faculty members should utilize the final report guidelines when writing this report.

Award announcements will be made early October. For more information, email provost@unm.edu.
