No, they are considered to be incentive compensation.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Participant Support Costs
I have a question regarding the definition of participant support costs.
NSF defines them as costs of transportation, per diem, stipends and
other related costs for participants or trainees (but not employees) in
connection with NSF-sponsored conferences, meetings, symposia, training
activities and workshops.
I have a PI who is submitting a proposal to US Dept of ED for a research
grant. The proposal includes participants who will be part of a study.
Each participant will receive a stipend, as well as transportation and
room and board costs. My question is, if these participants are not
taking part in a conference, meeting, symposia, training activity or
workshop, would these costs be considered participant support costs?
Thanks for your feedback.
