Teaching Fund Application Form

Funding is available from the School Teaching Fund to support a number of teaching related activities and aims to support activity that furthers teaching excellence in the School. 

Please note CAHSS is introducing an interim measure for other operating expenditure for 2026/27 and as such, this fund can only be used only for business-critical travel. 

Any request for travel and accommodation funding will need to be clearly aligned with the strategic objectives of the School/College in learning and teaching and/or service provision. When considering travel in this intervening period, please consider whether a virtual or hybrid option could achieve the same outcome effectively.

Applications will be considered on the following basis:

• Staff travel to conferences will only be reimbursed in the case where an individual is convening a panel, presenting a paper (either a talk, poster) or keynote.   
• Requests will be considered for travel for staff training and development, where attendance at teaching conferences, workshops, and training courses is essential for the individual to carry out their current role, or they are attending as an official representative of their subject area. Please note, where multiple staff members could attend the same event, attendance is limited to the minimum number necessary to meet operational needs.
• Reimbursement for a Conference fee or one-off learning event 

Please seek approval from your Head of Department before applying to the fund. 

Applications will be assessed by a small panel comprising the Director of Learning and Teaching (Undergraduate and Postgraduate) and two Subject Areas representatives.
