For grant applications:

PIs and their Departments are expected to include certain qualifying International work/research related compliance costs in grant applications where possible (see guidance - Justification of Resources for International Working related costs for more information).

For active grants:

Advice from UCAM’s auditors confirms that certain qualifying International work/research related compliance costs can also be charged against currently active research grants.

The table below provides a summary of the costs which can be charged against the research grant (active or new), and those which are not accepted under the grant and will therefore be covered by the central fund for International Working (see Costs and Budgeting for further information) .  Please ensure that the ineligible costs in the column on the right are never charged to research grants.
