Travel Stipend for Faculty Dependent Care - UofU Health
University of Utah Health strongly supports faculty who are working to balance family
wellness with scholarly and professional obligations. With initial funding from the Castleton
Family and donations from U of U Health leaders, funds are available to individual faculty members to offset the costs associated with dependent care (e.g., child, ill/disabled partner, or elder care) expenses while traveling to attend professional meetings, conferences, workshops, study sections,
and other professional development offerings away from home.This pilot funding mechanism is aimed at improving the career success of diverse faculty.
This stipend will support up to$1,500 per faculty member, per fiscal year, for approved expenses.
Eligibility
- Applications are limited to health sciences faculty (Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, and Colleges of Health, Nursing, Pharmacy and the Eccles Health Sciences Library). Faculty on the tenure, research, or clinical tracks may apply.
Expenses covered by the travel scholarship may include, but are not necessarily limited to:
- Reasonable daily wages, transportation, lodging, and estimated meal costs and incidentals for the caregiver, either at home or during travel to, or onsite at the conference meeting location.
- The cost of transporting the dependent to a conference/meeting location, and reasonable costs associated with travel for the dependent. Entertainment expenses are not reimbursable.
Recipients must verify that funds requested for dependent care are due to travel for university business and are above and beyond normal dependent care expenses (e.g. normal day care or caregiver expenses).
Given the personal nature of this support, payments will be made as taxable additional compensation to the faculty member. Contacting your tax professional to discuss the impact of this compensation on your taxes is advised.
