Visiting Scientists

The Texas Institute of Oceanography provides funding up to $25,000 for Visiting Scientists to TAMUG.  Please complete the TAMUG TIO Visiting Scientist Program Application below and submit to hollidat@tamug.edu.

TAMUG TIO Visiting Scientist Program Application

In addition to approved TIO funding, forms are required to be completed and  the sponsoring Department Head and the Associate Provost/Chief Academic Officer must be aware of and approve the presence and activities of the visitors.

There are some fundamental issues when considering bringing in a visitor. They include:

  1. Potential liability of the host faculty member,
  2. Liability of the visitor for accidents,
  3. Insurance,
  4. Intellectual property/technology transfer (i.e., signing non-disclosure agreements), and
  5. Conflict of interest.


Consideration of all of the above will be done at the department level.

The Form 5VS will be initiated at the department level and approved by the department head (or associate department head) and the Associate Provost and Chief Academic Officer. The complete Visiting Scientist package is then forwarded to TAMUG’s Research and Graduate Studies Office for submission to TAMU Office of the Vice President for Research.  There, the package will be screened for export control issues. Once approved, the application will be forwarded to the International Faculty and Scholar Services Office with a copy being returned to the TAMUG originating department.

Please send a complete package (5VS and CV) as a PDF to rutkowsp@tamug.edu
