Can I do foreign or domestic travel without prior approval from sponsoring agency?
Travel is allowable if identified in the agreement. Travel must be specifically related and identifiable to the sponsored program. University travel policies and procedures (see Travel Section of Contracts and Grants web pages) must be adhered to. Travel cost that exceed the approved budget by 10% or $500 which ever is greater must be approved by the sponsor. Written prior approval for foreign trips must be received in advance of the each trip even if included in the approved budget unless the requirements have been waived by the agency.
