Dear 2003 ITC University Booth participants: If you are applying for reimbursement of your conference registration costs, please send me an email and read over the instructions below. Note there is a 30 day limit on when you can file for reimbursement. Also please leave up to 12 weeks for the reimbursement check. Jim Plusquellic plusquel@umbc.edu ===================== Reimbursement Instructions ===================== You must send original receipts after your travel is completed to the address listed below and include proof of your ACM SIGDA membership by printing your ACM membership information from the ACM web page (go to www.acm.org => Manage your ACM account => Review your memberships and subscriptions). Include this with your receipts. You must also include a travel reimbursement form. You must use the Excel spreadsheet: http://www.sigda.org/programs/TravelGrant/SIGDA_Travel_Grant_Reimbursement.xls Include two paper copies as the cover sheets to which your receipts are attached using a single staple in the upper left hand corner (sort of like what all your professors have asked of since you entered college many many many years ago). Do not send electronic receipts by email. You will not be reimbursed for any item for which a receipt in not included with your travel reimbursement form. If you use registered mail, your reimbursement could be delayed upto two weeks. UPS and FedEx (and other delivery services) cannot deliver to US postoffice boxes. You must also submit a travel report on your conference activities to the email address below. You can find example travel reports on the SIGDA web page. The format must be Adobe PDF. You can also send the trip report as a floppy or CDROM. If you are presenting a paper, include a copy of the page from the table of contents that references your paper. Your receipts and travel report must be submitted no later than 30 days after the attended conference, symposium, or workshop. Please review the program information at http://www.sigda.org/programs/TravelGrant/ to make sure you comply with all requirements, because as we all know submitting a proper travel grant reimbursement is possibly NP-Complete, hard to produce a certificate, easy to demonstrate its lack of correctness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SigDA Travel Grant Director www.sigda.org/programs/TravelGrant SigDA Secretary Treasurer Address ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Richard Auletta SIGDA TRAVEL GRANTS Home: (303) 530-3640 RICHARD J AULETTA Cell: (303) 520-0306 PO BOX 18882 E-mail: rauletta@acm.org BOULDER CO 80308-1882 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGDA Design Automation TechNews http://www.acm.org/da_technews/
