Group Application Guide

The Professional and Academic Conference Endowment (PACE) welcomes applications for "Group PACE Grants" to support groups (of three or more) CU ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ undergraduates planning to participate in academic conferences, competitions and creative exhibitions. Students must be presenting or showcasing their work at the event, but groups are not required to share the same project.

Maximum Award: $5,000 per group

Eligibility: Tenured/tenure-track research and teaching faculty, professional researchers and practitioners, and postdoctoral scholars at CU ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ are eligible to apply for Group PACE Grants.

Timeline: Group PACE Applications are reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis, and our team is always happy to chat ahead of submission to clarify any questions.

Award Information: We issue awarded funding by transferring the full amount to the speedtype you identified in the application with the expectation that you and your unit's administrative team will arrange all student travel.

When you submit the application form: The PACE team will be notified of your application and review your materials as soon as possible. Please be attentive to your email in case our team has questions or needs additional information. We can typically send decisions within a week of submission and transfer funding within a month of sending award decisions. Applicants will be notified of funding decisions by email from urop@colorado.edu; add this address to your "safe senders" list to avoid missing communications.
