Thanks to funding provided by the Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL), a Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education administered by the Latin American and Iberian Institute (LAII), the University of New Mexico (UNM) will award professional development funds to CNM faculty to attend area studies conferences, professional meetings, and ACTFL training workshops for language instructors. Preference will be given to faculty with teaching and research interests in Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East and language faculty teaching Arabic and Portuguese. Faculty teaching other foreign languages are also encouraged to apply. The LAII will be making 3-6 travel awards (up to $2,000/award) per year to be applied towards the following expenses:
- Airfare
- Registration Fees
- Lodging
- Ground Transportation
- Per Diem
Please note that lodging and per diem expenses must not surpass the GSA rates (if domestic) or U.S. Department of State rates (if international). For international travel, airfare must be in compliance with the Fly America Act and travel information must be submitted for approval to the U.S. Department of Education at least 30 days in advance. To be able to fund more applicants, the full amount requested may not be awarded and all applicants are encouraged to seek additional funding.
