Travel
Many sponsored projects involve travel for research, collaboration, conference attendance, and other project-related purposes.
When budgeting for travel:
- Explain the need for travel and how the travel will benefit the project's aims.
- Break out costs by airfare, hotel, per diem, etc. and identify location, if known.
- Conference costs and field work costs should be identified separately in a budget justification.
- Conference costs must be necessary to accomplish proposal objectives or to disseminate project results.
