Emeritus Professor Norman J. Johnston and his wife, L. Jane Hastings, established an endowed faculty research travel support fund to provide money for travel associated with faculty research activities in the Department of Architecture. This year is a poignant one as Jane Hastings passed away on March 25th. Her spirit and legacy live on in our college and our faculty and students today.
This year $2,000 will be available from July 2024 to June 2025. Johnston/Hastings Endowment funds may be used for travel related to research only. Such costs may include transportation, hotel, and meals to access a site or library to support the exploration of a research topic.
- The donors wish to give priority to junior faculty members who are involved in a rigorous research program that requires travel to a specific site or sites.
- Friday, April 5, 2024: application period opens
- Monday, May 6, 2024: application deadline (11:59pm Pacific)
- Friday, May 31, 2023: awardees notified
Please submit a written narrative (maximum of one page) addressing the following:
- 1) a brief statement of purpose describing the work and its relevance to the College and/or professions
- 2) the estimated cost of travel and other sources of funding contracted or in hand
- 3) the travel timeline
- 4) how the results of the research may be disseminated (e.g., publication, paper, or exhibit).
Please submit applications to be-research@uw.edu via e-mail with the title “Submission – Johnston Hastings Travel- YOUR NAME”.
The Dean’s Office will review applications and make recommendations to the Dean.
- Funds from the endowment may not be used for pleasure travel or to allow individuals to participate in conferences, workshops or seminars.
- If the research results in publication, the donors request that a copy or copies of the published material be given to them during their lifetimes.
- Recipients are asked to include appropriate acknowledgement of the support in any resulting publication.
