UofA Research Mobility Fund

Research mobility funding is provided by the local WUN Office at the University of Alberta.

Don't miss out on this great opportunity to:

  • Advance your research from the facilities, resources and skill-set available within your host institution
  • Improve contacts within your academic field by meeting and working with your counterparts overseas
  • Further your career development and open up the possibilities for your future

The Research Mobility Fund (RMF) provides support for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and research staff to establish and cultivate international research collaboration by spending time abroad at another WUN institution. Applications are welcome from graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and research staff at the University of Alberta. Applicants in all academic areas, both in existing WUN research areas and new areas with the potential/promise for developing a sustainable WUN collaboration, are encouraged. Priority is given to well-defined proposals which demonstrate a clear benefit to the applicant, department, University of Alberta and WUN.

 

The University of Alberta will provide funding for:

  • travel expenses (e.g. economy airfare, train, rental car, etc.) 
  • additional subsistence at a maximum of $1,500 per month for accommodation and meals

 

All reimbursement claims are governed by the “Travel and Hosting Expense Reimbursement Procedure”
as part of the “Supply and Goods and Services Policy” of the University of Alberta and need to be fully justified.
