Dear colleagues:

 

We recently transferred a P01 and are now in the process of establishing the different subcontracts for each performance site.

 

The question came up as to how to handle the travel budget. 

 

Suggestions are to handle the budget centrally at our institution.  This would involve booking and reimbursing all travel for all participants (employees at subcontracting institutions, their staff and students).  Travel includes site visits, conference meetings for the contracting sites, as well as scientific meetings for participants to disseminate findings.

 

Alternatively, subcontract line items for travel could be issued on the subcontract budgets, which is generally what we do on other grants such as R01s.

 

For those of you with P01 experience, could you please let us know how you handle travel for large projects?

 

If needed, you can contact me offline.

 

Thank you.
