Grant Submission Process


Budget Preparation > Travel

This expenditure category is strictly for travel costs related to Ohio University employee travel, not visitors or guests of OHIO employees. Sometimes a granting agency will restrict the use of funds and only allow domestic travel. Please consult your program guidelines to see if this is applicable to your proposal. Although OHIO considers travel to both Mexico and Canada as foreign travel, individual funding agencies may not. The National Science Foundation, for example, considers travel to Mexico, Canada and other US Territories as domestic. Please consult your program guidelines for more information regarding the allowability of foreign travel. If business meetings are a part of your proposed budget, the costs associated with this (e.g. room charges, food and non-alcoholic drinks) fall under the expenditure category of travel.

TIP: The National Science Foundation considers travel to Mexico, Canada, and U.S. Territories as domestic.

Travel information for the purpose of estimation of costs can be found at http://www.ohio.edu/finance/travel/. Please check the Vice President for Finance and Administration website for current mileage determinations and per diem rates. Definitions of travel can be found in the travel category in the drop-down menu at: http://portal.finance.ohiou.edu/nalookup
