What are the rules for invitational travel related to a pooled fund study?
Invitational travel is decided under the individual pooled fund study more than a general rule. Typically, it is limited to one representative from each State providing funds. If a State wishes to attend a panel meeting, but hasn’t contributed to the pooled fund study, the lead State or the partnering States will need to decide whether the non-contributing State’s participation in the meeting is necessary or warranted. Generally, invitational travel may only be used for the first Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting. Beyond that, the lead organization should make some contractual or other provision to pay for travel for TAC members and research related travel. The TAC may set limitations on the amount of funds from the pooled funds that may be used for travel.
