The College of Engineering is now accepting applications for the TRAvel for CollaborativE Research (TRACER) Grant, a new initiative from the College designed to help establish new research partnerships with world-leading experts at top institutions. Travel grants up to $7,500 can be used to send senior-level graduate students or postdocs with a promising research trajectory and interest in securing faculty positions to conduct research with new collaborators. The grant facilitates new research collaborations with world-leading experts at top institutions, thus establishing new collaborations for the School and broadening the grantee's mentor/peer network for their future faculty career. The expectation is that a TRACER collaboration will lead to joint publications. Application Deadline: October 1, 2024, for travel from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. TRAvel for CollaborativE Research (TRACER) Grant Up to $7,500 can be requested on a reimbursement basis. Eligible expenses include reasonable transportation, lodging, per diem (only while traveling to/from the host lab and not during the lab stay), etc. Funds cannot be used for student stipends or salary. These funds cannot be used for research expenses, which are expected to be covered by home and/or host labs. Eligibility Applicants must be enrolled in an Engineering PhD program or employed as a postdoctoral researcher in the College of Engineering. Graduate student applicants must have passed their preliminary exam or have their preliminary exam scheduled so that it will be completed before traveling for this collaboration. Criteria 1. Evidence of promising research trajectory and motivation for faculty career as judged by the graduate student's/postdoc's application essay, CV (including a list of all published/submitted articles and conference papers), and letters of support. 1. Strengthening a new collaboration - Purdue and external PIs should not have joint funding or have published together in the previous five years. 1.
