Research Intiation Grants

TRAVEL POLICIES

  1. Center for Advanced Study of International Development (CASID)/Women and International Development (WID) funds are intended to be supplemental in nature. Departments and colleges (combined) must provide equal match to the CASID/WID grant made to a faculty member (a 50/50 match). Grant funds in a Michigan State University (MSU) account and dedicated to travel costs can be substituted for college or department matching funds.
  2. CASID/WID funds may only be used for airfare expenses, per diem and related meeting or conference costs.
  3. Individuals may not receive more than one award within a four year period.
  4. Tenure system core and consulting faculty are given higher priority, but all MSU faculty (NOT visiting faculty) are eligible.
  5. The directors of CASID and WID, or designee, will make final decisions on award recipients and levels of funding.
  6. The traveler must comply with MSU travel procedures as outlined in the MSU Manual of Business Procedures.
  7. The faculty member's department is responsible for making the travel arrangements and preparing the required travel authorizations and vouchers.
