Participant Support Costs. Unless otherwise specified in the program regulations or award terms and conditions, the NFE may include participant support costs such as stipends or subsistence allowances, travel allowances, and registration fees paid to or on behalf of participants or trainees (but not employees) in connection with conferences, or training projects. However, the NFE must have prior agency approval to transfer funds budgeted for participant support costs to other categories of expense.

Participant Support Costs. ‌ Participant support costs are those costs paid to (or on behalf of) participants or trainees (not employees) for participation in meetings, conferences, symposia and workshops, or other training activities when there is a category for participant support costs in the award. Registration fees, travel allowances, manuals and supplies, tuition and stipends may be regarded as participant support costs in this case. Participant support costs do not include: • Payments made to research subjects as an incentive for recruitment and participation in a research project. • Xxxxxxxxx paid to a guest speaker or lecturer. • Costs that cannot be specifically identified to participants. Who is a participant? Program Participants are individuals who are the recipients of service or training provided at a workshop, conference, seminar, symposia or other short-term instructional or information sharing activity funded by an external grant or award. Participants perform no work or services for the project or program other than for their own benefit. A participant is not involved in providing any deliverable to the university or a third party, or would not be terminated or replaced for failure to perform. Participants do not include NMIMT employees but may include students, national scholars and scientists, private sector representatives, teachers and others who attend and participate in a formal conference, workshop, or training activity Project staff on a research project do not qualify as participants. For example, a person classified as an intern would be paid as an employee and not as a program participant, because the intern, while receiving certain training, is also providing services to NMIMT, the grant sponsor, or a third party. The term “participant/trainee support costs” is identified specifically on National Science Foundation (NSF) awards but may be awarded by other sponsors but not necessarily referred to as “participant support costs” The PI should review agency proposal requirements to determine if the sponsor prohibits the university from applying F&A costs to these charges. Note – this varies by program and/or agency so verify the applicability of F&A on participant/trainee costs. This practice ensures appropriate treatment and coding in the pre award and post award stage of the project. Written sponsor approval may be required for any rebudgeting into or out of the participant support cost budget category. Refer to terms of award. Participant support costs ...

Participant Support Costs. ‌ Per 2 CFR 200.1, Participant support costs are those costs for such items as stipends or subsistence allowances, travel allowances, and registration fees based on the type and duration of the activity paid to or on behalf of participants or trainees (not employees) for participation in meetings, conferences, symposia and workshops, or other training activities when there is a category for participant support costs in the award. Such allowances must be reasonable and in conformance with NMT policy. The PI is responsible for providing detailed documentation to the Sponsored Projects Office to support the allowability, reasonableness, and allocability of Participant Support Costs. This documentation should include offer letters, contracts which inform participants of the dollar levels of support provided and the corresponding eligibility requirements. In addition, evidence of participation must be maintained that documents that all eligibility requirements have been met. This documentation must be organized, maintained, and archived in the event of an audit. Participant Support Costs – Stipends/Subsistence allowances must be reasonable, conform to funding agency requirements, and be in conformance with NMT policy. Participant Support Costs – Travel must be limited to the days of attendance at the conference plus actual travel time required to reach the conference location. Where meals or lodgings are furnished without charge or at a nominal cost (e.g., as part of the registration fee), the per diem or subsistence allowance should be correspondingly reduced. Restrictions regarding class of accommodations and use of U. S. Flag air carriers may be applicable. Registration fees for conferences may be included in this category. Participant Support Costs – Other must also be reasonable, conform to funding agency requirements, and be in conformance with NMT policy. These costs may include travel to job fairs or other award-related conferences. Based on award-specific terms and conditions, there may be other allowable participant support costs such as books, manuals, supplies such as software directly related to research or a thesis, laptops, professional training, or certifications. Depending on the terms and conditions of an award, incentives, gifts, souvenirs, t-shirts and/or other memorabilia may be allowable.
