I have incurred travel expenses under my CRDF award. How can I receive a reimbursement?
If explicitly authorized by the recipient institution, CRDF will directly reimburse participating U.S. investigators for travel-related expenses incurred under the award. To receive such reimbursements, the individual must submit an invoice to CRDF containing the following information:
- The CRDF project number.
- A description of all expenses incurred.
- A brief report detailing the purposes of the travel, objectives accomplished and other outcomes.
- ORIGINAL receipts for all expenses claimed. NOTE: To be reimbursed for plane tickets, the traveler must provide the ORIGINAL plane ticket receipt and all corresponding boarding passes.
- Full name and address of payee.
- Certification signed by traveler: “I hereby certify that all expenses claimed within are true and accurate, are in accordance with the terms of the project agreement and have not been previously requested or received.”
- Signature of U.S. PI or U.S institutional official authorizing reimbursement (if the PI is not the traveler).
