See FIS 410-32 Participant Support Costs or the OUS Fiscal Policy Manual, formerly the FASOM Manual, for additional information or clarification.
Reimburse participants for books, travel and research expenses when allowed on sponsored project.
A payment request form is used when an authorized travel per diem is paid.
The procedure for this is different from a regular vendor. This payment must be tied to the participant for audit/tracking purposes.
See FIS 1106-04: Payment when Check Disbursed to other than Vendor for guidance in entering a different check payee from the vendor.
When a new sponsored project is received that supports a new fellow/participant, instruct the participant to contact the Office of Post Award Administration at 7-4711 or come to B306 Kerr Administration Building. Additional information is required to start the process. See the Office of Post Award Administration website for additional information.
Stipend checks are normally processed and mailed so that the fellow/participant receives the check on the first of the month for that current month. This of course depends on the start and end dates of the sponsored project.
At the end of each month the Office of Post Award Administration provides the Financial Aid Office with a list of those students receiving participant support, amount and type.
When processing a correction to participant support, put student’s name on description line. DO NOT put student ID number in description line or text.
