CBT Targeted Research Impact Progam

College of Business & Technology TRIP Award Request

The College of Business and Technology (CBT) Targeted Research Impact Program is designed to support high quality conference presentations and high impact peer reviewed journal publication in order to improve program quality and faculty credentials. The CBT Annual Gift Account will provide the funding. The number of awards will be limited based on available funding.
The Targeted Research Impact Program (TRIP) replaces the Dean’s Travel Award in its current form for the specific purpose of creating a direct incentive program within the CBT disciplines to increase the quality and participation levels within the portfolio of Peer Review Journal (PRJ) related scholarly activity and high quality conference participation. Additional travel support may be reinstituted when travel becomes authorized.
