RSENR Research Adminstration:  Develop a Budget

Travel Costs

Allowable as a direct cost where such travel will provide direct benefit to the sponsored project. For example, funds may be requested for field work, attendance at meetings or conferences necessary to accomplish proposal objectives, or disseminate its results, or other travel associated with the proposed work.

Best practice is to budget for all known travel required to complete the project and disseminate results. When budgeting for travel costs please refer to UVM’s Travel and Expense Reimbursement for most up to date information.

Domestic Travel

• Reimbursements are subject to the UVM travel regulations and payment rates.

Foreign Travel

• For international travel, the Fly America Act must be followed, where typically only American flag carriers may be used.  Sponsor prior approval may be required for foreign travel, per the terms of an award. Please read those awards carefully. For assistance in budgeting international travel, see the U.S. Department of State's foreign per diem and hotel plus meal payment rates.
