Eligibility Criteria:


1. Applicants must be research administrators from within the Region VI geographic area (Alaska, California, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon, Samoa, and Washington). Applicants need not be current members of NCURA in order to apply for or to be awarded a Region VI Travel Award.

3. The application and/or the support letter(s) must demonstrate that the applicant has secured their manager or supervisor's approval to attend the meeting.

How to Apply:


Applications must be completed and submitted on the NCURA Region VI Travel Award application form located at https://www.ncuraregionvi.org/travelawards.


The individual applying for the Travel Award is expected to complete and submit the application form and their resume. At least one letter of support must be provided by someone at the nominee's institution, ideally a supervisor or someone who can authorize meeting attendance.

Please note, as an award recipient, you may be acknowledged formally at the meeting, and/or on NCURA Region VI social media. Travel awards cannot be transferred.


Selection Considerations:


Selection of the awardees will be determined by the Region VI Awards Committee. The Committee's decisions will be final. Selection criteria used by the Committee include:

  • Candidate's contribution to his/her organization, and ability to add value to organization if able to attend the meeting

  • Relevant experience of the candidate
