Lisa, From the US Ed Web site. Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) See Glossary for description. As a matter of practice, the Department provides a copy of EDGAR to those entities that have received an award. If you are a grantee that did not receive a copy with the award package, you may ask for one by contacting the Education program contact named on your Grant Award Notification. An electronic version of EDGAR can be downloaded from ED's Web site at: http://www.ed.gov/policy/fund/reg/edgarReg/edlite-table.html Jeanne Office of Research Programs and Services New College of Florida http://www.ncf.edu/ORPS/ "Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please." -- Mark Twain "Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense." -- Gertrude Stein "We have only two modes - complacency and panic." -- James R.

I know we treat their prior approval as a general truism, but I have not been able to find ED's specific requirement. I've had 2 of their officials (a regional rep and their Grants Policy Office) cite A-122 as the source, however, I don't think A-122 governs university grantees; we are normally covered by A-21. I checked EDGAR, which refers to A-21 for allowable costs for educational institutions. A-21 doesn't make a distinction between domestic and foreign travel, so it appears to be silent on the issue. Our ED grant award notifications do not indicate any special terms and conditions in this regard. Is it somewhere else or have I overlooked it in the usual places? Any clues will be greatly appreciated! ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
