small funds requests

Meetings/Conferences:

MSI has limited funds available to support small local conferences or meetings.  As is the practice in MSI, only requests that bring together faculty, students, postdocs, and other scholars from across different departments or Schools will be considered.  One-time requests will be reviewed by the Steering Committee at a regularly-scheduled monthly meeting.

Individual support:

Individual requests for support for tuition, registration, or travel to attend meetings will not be considered.

Equipment:

Requests to fund equipment will be considered based on:

• Cost (or amount requested for partial support)
• Description of use/nature of research for which it will be used (or cannot be done currently without it)
• Use across multiple departments/Schools
