Greetings from Ohio,

Our insurance area is requesting information on how other universities handle insurance for employees training to foreign countries under federal funding.

Does your university obtain Defense Base Act coverage (essentially federal workers compensation) for all employees traveling to foreign countries under federal contracts or grants?
Or do they acquire this coverage only for employees who travel to US bases located in foreign countries?
Specifically, do other universities acquire this insurance for employees traveling to foreign countries under federal contracts or grants when the travel is for purposes such as attendance at foreign conferences or technical exchanges?

Thank you in advance!
Marianne
