If your research involves travel, you must comply with the College policies on travel. It is your responsibility to carefully read all of the information on the Global Dartmouth website so that you remain in compliance with College policies. Sections that may be relevant include:
For research projects involving any type of international travel:
UGAR funds are awarded only for travel to countries that the College has deemed to be lower risk based on a number of factors. If you are applying for funding to travel to a country or region that is not on that list, a Travel Exception is required. The process of obtaining an exception can be lengthy so it is imperative that you submit your waiver application as early as possible (on or before the UGAR grant application deadline). If the College grants a travel exception, UGAR will consider your application but still may not fund the project due to safety concerns. In some cases, UGAR may opt not to fund travel to countries that have been deemed lower risk by the College if there are concerns about safety. Faculty mentors are responsible for ensuring that student researchers understand any risks associated with the travel as well as resources available to them and are the primary point of contact during the period of travel.
