Ray Travel Award The Edward J. Ray Travel Award for Scholarship and Service (i.e. Ray Travel Award or RTA) encourages and enables graduate students across the university to participate in professional conferences, both in their respective fields and in the broader academic community, by reimbursing or partially reimbursing the expenses incurred by graduate students during travel to conferences and meetings to present original research.
Unlike other programs that grant travel funds, the Ray Travel Award gives substantial weight to the applicant's service to their department, the university, and the surrounding community. Additionally, Ray Travel Award judges also take into account the applicant's professional goals, the nature of the conference being attended, and the applicant's ability to convey the focus of their research to a general audience.

Whereas students in some departments, schools, and colleges may have several opportunities for funding, others have no sources of funding whatsoever. For this reason, the absence of such funds at the university level has been a subject of concern for CGS for several years.
Inquiries on this matter to the CGS office, from both individual students and other graduate student associations within the university, have increased in recent years. Therefore, we feel that the Ray Travel Award will fill a void for many students; it will also sustain and further the professional activities of students who have exhausted other funding sources.
The Ray Travel Award is intended to supplement -- not to replace -- existing funds at the program, department, school, college, or university levels. Although the fund is primarily intended to assist with travel expenses, we recognize that there are often other costs involved with professional presentations. We have defined the fund's uses so that other legitimate costs can be included when necessary.
The awards committee will be composed of graduate students and faculty members representative of the university community, as well as representatives from groups contributing to the fund. These individuals will be expected to consider the university as a whole in their decision-making processes. The Ray Travel Award supports and enhances the three-part mission of the University: research, teaching, and service.
CGS believes that professional presentations of research are a vital part of the academic and professional development of graduate students.

USDA-NIFA-HEP-011737 puts $14 million behind roughly 28 awards of up to $705,000 for graduate fellowships in food and agricultural sciences. No match is required. But two eligibility rules — the new-graduate-student definition and the citizenship requirement — disqualify most of the students a department would naturally nominate.
Read articleNSF's Industry-Integrated PhD Scholars Program commits $47 million over five years through the nonprofit UIDP to place more than 250 doctoral students in year-long industry research placements. Universities fund year one, NSF funds years two through four, and each company puts in at least $100,000 per student. Here is what the funding structure actually selects for, the four-year timeline problem, and what universities, companies, and students should do.

The FY2027 budget request asks Congress to make the practice the default. Researchers need to model the squeeze, not assume it away.
