Opportunity
URA Visiting Scholars Program (VSP)
Award Info:
Applications are judged on the scientific merit of the proposed activity and on the cost-effectiveness of the proposal. As all URA institutions contribute to this program, over time, some consideration is given to the balance among URA institutions, both by region and type. Consideration is also given to the total amount of funds awarded to individual applicants and to institutions in past cycles.
The allocation of awards is limited to funds contributed by member universities. Therefore, the URA review panel may deny or reduce some meritorious requests, particularly if they are deemed substantially more costly and/or less cost effective than the norm. Awards may not exceed one year duration and begin on the approved start date of the award activity, or in the absence of such a date, with date of the award letter.
Fall awards are assumed to begin no later than March 31 of the following year.
