The budget submitted must include the grant amount requested, the event fee and all estimated travel expenses for the event (e.g., transportation costs, mileage, meals, lodging, etc.).

Grants are available for Spring 2023 (for events held Jan. 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023). The application deadline for spring is 4:30 p.m., Friday, April 28, 2023, for events scheduled any time between Jan. 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023.

Within one month of the scheduled event date (or upon notification of receiving the award), grant recipients must submit a written report about the event’s content and how it met the employee’s and supervisor’s expectations.
