Step 1.

Anyone interested in visiting JINA-CEE should contact the local PI or senior investigator at the institution of interest. The JINA-CEE Director and host institution seniorinvestigator will review the request, address any concerns or questions and confirm the visit with the visitor and other relevant parties. Any travel funding request will be evaluated and the source and amount of support determined and approved.

Step 2.

When the visit is confirmed, the visitor fills out the Visitor Form on the JINA-CEE website (../html/visitorform.html). Indicate whether travel funding is being provided by JINA-CEE.

Step 3.

After the visit is approved, a JINA-CEE site coordinator will contact the visitor to coordinate travel arrangements and reimbursement (compliant with JINA-CEE grant requirements and site institution travel guidelines regarding applicable restrictions on airlines and maximum lodging and per-diem rates). Contact information for travel questions to core JINA-CEE institutions is below. For help with other site visits, contact Dawn Welch, JINA-CEE Administrator.

Step 4.

The JINA-CEE contact will coordinate travel arrangements with the visitor to ensure compliance with grant restrictions and travel guidelines. Note: If the visitor makes their own arrangements prior to this step of the process that are not compliant with requirements and guidelines, associated expenses may not be reimbursable.

Step 5.

The visitor pays all expenses during the visit. For MSU visitors, airfare, some ground transportation, and lodging (depending on the hotel) can be direct billed to JINA-CEE.

Step 6.

Following the visit, the visitor submits receipts for covered expenses to the JINA-CEE contact within thirty (30) days of the visit.

Step 7.

The reimbursement is processed and the visitor receives a mailed check for the covered expenses within six (6) weeks of submission.
