Do the travel policies of my U.S. institution regarding expenses supercede those of CRDF?
Many US institutions have established travel policies that comply with USG guidelines. In instances where such institutional policies are in place, those policies shall govern provided they do not violate Fly America provisions or per diem limitations. Any reimbursement or advance of funds to you, as an individual (as opposed to an institution), however, will be processed in accordance with CRDF travel guidelines.
