Hi Alpha, Thanks for your comments. We do not deal with participant costs a great deal, so I do have another question if you don't mind. Does your organization charge indirect on this incentive compensation? Thanks again for your help, Michele Michele Hamrick Assistant Administrator Sponsored Programs Administration Mississippi State University 133 Etheridge Hall P.O.

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?
