6/18/09 Project Director Advisory-Restrictions on Foundation Travel

In response to the state budget crisis and uncertainties around the impact of state budget cuts to the CSU, the Provost has extended President Zingg’s limitation on travel to include Research Foundation supported travel.

Travel in-state or out-of-state that is mandated by the terms of a grant or contract is allowed.

In-state travel supported by incentive or campus program accounts is restricted to essential obligations, as, for example, required meetings at the Chancellor’s Office. Professional travel supported by incentive or campus program accounts is restricted to individuals who are presenting papers at conferences or otherwise participating as members of a sponsoring agency’s board or organizing committee. All travel supported by Research Foundation incentive, capacity building, residual or campus program accounts must be pre-approved by the Dean or Unit Administrator.

Project Directors and staff should use the Foundation Travel Advance Request Form http://www.csuchico.edu/resp/projadm/form/advancetravelrequest.doc to secure approval by the head of their division. The Request Form must be submitted with the Travel Claim when seeking reimbursement. Travel Claims submitted without an approved Travel Advance Request will be returned to the submitter.

If you have questions about this message, you may contact The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (RESP) at 898-5700 or The Research Foundation Administration at 898-6811 or simply reply via email.

Thank you!

All Foundation Project Directors and those authorized to sign on Foundation Accounts receive announcements via email. If you are no longer a project director and would like your name removed or wish to add administrative staff to the list, please reply to this message with appropriate instructions.
