Who is responsible for booking my travel?
Travel must be pre-booked by your organisation. Any travel-related expenses will be reimbursed upon completion of travel and the submission of a tax invoice to ANSTO Accounts Payable. Your travel funding approval letter will provide you with a funding allowance and specifics on what is required to be provided on the invoice.
IMPORTANT: Please do not pay for your own travel, we recommend submitting a request to your travel department, as reimbursement will only be made directly to your organisation and not the individual researcher.
How do I obtain a travel funding grant letter for my experiment?
Simply submit a travel funding and accommodation application via the ‘Travel Funding & Accomm’ tab of your Experiment Authorisation (EA).
Please ensure you nominate a funding contact for your experiment, so that the User Office may contact this person should we have any questions.
