Staff Handbook

Conference travel funding (DSM)

Academic staff in the Dunedin School of Medicine are invited to submit applications for grants to attend conferences. All applications from staff must be submitted through the Head of Department using the standard application form (Microsoft Word, 30 KB).

THREE copies (two double sided copies plus the original) are required and must be endorsed by the Head of Department, and where appropriate, the Head of Section.

Joint clinical staff must seek separate approval for leave, and confirmation of financial support through the appropriate SDHB process. Please notify the undersigned when this approval has been received. Any approval of financial support through this current application process is subject to confirmation of receipt of matching SDHB approval.

Conference leave approval

Award of a travel grant does not signify approval of conference leave to attend the meeting. Application for leave must be made separately to the Head of Department and approved by the Dean. It is the responsibility of the staff member concerned to make appropriate arrangements with the Head of Department to cover teaching responsibilities. These arrangements must be approved by the Head of Department.
