Policy Matters
All travel by faculty, staff, students, and guests utilizing sponsored program funds administered through the Research Foundation (RF) must be pre-approved and processed by the RF Travel Office.
- Check the terms and conditions of the grant you will be using to make sure you understand what the sponsor requires for project-related travel.
- All university travel, including sponsored programs travel, must adhere to the university's Travel Policy except where sponsor requirements differ.
