The travel budget may include domestic or foreign travel for purposes such as meetings with collaborators or conference attendance, or local travel required for projects such as survey research. Review sponsor instructions to ensure that travel costs are permitted and if so, whether there are any restrictions. Specify the purpose of the travel to be funded, number of trips and number of individuals traveling, specific destinations, if possible, and explain how the costs were estimated. Travel costs are limited by the University policies on travel reimbursement even where sponsor travel guidelines may be more liberal. Explain the necessity for this travel in relation to the project. For Federal proposals, estimate the cost air travel to foreign destinations based on use of a U.S. flag air carrier, which is a requirement of Federal awards.
