It should be noted that there are significant federal compliance requirements
concerning international travel. International travel funded by sponsored
grants or contracts must be authorized in advance by the Office of Grants
& Contracts. Most agencies require that all international travel be
on a U.S. flag carrier unless circumstances, such as lengthy holdovers,
preclude using a U.S. airline. In the event that there are no U.S. flag
carriers going to the traveler's destination, the traveler must contact
the Office of Grants and Contracts at 603-646-3007. Many sponsoring agencies
must specifically approve trips abroad well in advance of departure. This
requirement exists whether or not such travel is referenced in the grant
or contract award notification. Arrangements for international travel supported
by sponsoring agencies can be complex, requiring not only prior approval
but detailed justification for each trip, as well as detailed trip reports.
For specific information on sponsoring agency requirements, contact the
Office of Grants & Contracts.
Airlines that are considered U.S. flag carriers must be used on all federally sponsored projects, unless advanced written approval is received from the Office of Grants and Contracts.
Reimbursement for the cost of alcohol is not permitted on federal awards.
The traveler must certify that alcohol was not part of a meal when an original
itemized meal receipt is not submitted.
