SAMSI Travel Policy

SAMSI Travel funding is done on a reimbursement basis.  Participants book and pay for their own travel, and are then reimbursed up to the amount indicated in the invitation letter.

Original receipts are needed for reimbursement, as well as the completed expense form.  Expenses can generally include travel, lodging, subsistence and local transportation (including car rental) up to the alloted maximum.

There are some restrictions:

1.    The National Science Foundation has rules concerning air carriers.  The detailed version is available, in part 10 of the National Science Foundation Grant General Conditions (GC-1).  Generally there are no problems if the airline is a "US Flag Carrier", or if the route being travelled is not served by such an airline.  There are a number of exceptions, follow the link if you need to find out what those are.

2.    Reimbursement of ticket change expenses may not be allowed.
