Travel on Research Projects

The CI is responsible for managing funds received for the project and ensuring that there is budget provision for travel before incurring travel expenditure.

If a CI is travelling the 'e-TAN' via the UWS Travel Portal must also be sent to Research Services at researchdaft@uws.edu.au. Research Services will check the agreement to ensure the budget includes travel and check there are available funds in the research account to cover the travel costs. Once confirmed the Director of Research Services will authorise the expenditure and send to Finance for processing.

It is important that e-Tan’s and travel arrangements on research accounts are sent with enough time for this process to be undertaken.

The travel approval process for all domestic and international travel to be funded from Research projects can be found at the Finance website and is demonstrated on the Flowchart B Research Funded Travel Only document.
