All sponsorship for this meeting goes to provide travel grants and cover costs of the meeting. This enables us to keep the registration of this meeting free for all attendees.
For those requesting travel grants, we wish to support you in attending this conference, but for our auditing purposes we need to ensure that we reimburse only relevant expenses. You will be expected to submit original receipts and boarding passes to support your claim.
Please note the following considerations prior to applying:
- We will cover your expenses to a maximum amount based on the distance you are traveling. This amount will be specified in your approval letter.
- If you are requesting a travel grant, it is expected that you will attend both days of the conference.
- We will support economy air flights, booked as early in advance as possible.
- We will cover a maximum of two nights’ accommodation at the identified conference hotel at the conference block rate or at a similarly priced hotel. We will NOT cover daily cab fare from hotel to the conference or vice versa.
- We do not support charges for “flight changes” including administration fees and differences in ticket prices.
- We will not cover meals, baggage fees, internet fees, phone bills, pre-boarding seat selection or upgrades.
- Where possible, share expenses. For example, share accommodation, or shared transportation to and from airport when shuttle service is not available.
- There is a maximum of threepeople approved per institution, however, the NMG Board will consider requests for additional people provided that the maximum amount of approved funds per institution is not exceeded. Please contact A. Petrich for approval.
Thesemeasures help keep expenses down. This allows us to approve more grants in subsequent years and keep the conference free for all.
