TRAVEL INFORMATION FOR INVITED ATTENDEES TO THE QMHP WORKSHOP

General Information:
Travel for invited attendees will be reimbursed by LSU using a workshop grant from NSF. Hence all receipts must be submitted for reimbursement to LSU and not to NSF. Also please note that per diem rates are set by the state of Louisiana and not the US government. The LSU per diem is $51 a day for food and incidentals in Arlington and $188 per day (plus tax) for lodging. You may make your own travel arrangements or have Ms. Thomas, contact below, make them for you. Please be advised if you make your own travel and hotel reservations we will reimburse you up to the cost that LSU would have paid for the ticket, typically the best non-refundable coach fare at the time of booking, and up to the $188 per night at the Holiday Inn at the conference rate. Rental cars must be approved in advance by LSU and will be approved on a case by case basis but we encourage you to use taxis, shuttles, or the metro instead.

Receipts:
Receipts will be required for all travel expenses including airfare, taxis, shuttles,  public transportation, rental cars and public parking. Receipts are also required for the hotel say. Receipts are not required for meals, unless you should exceed the per diem rate of $51 a day, in which case receipts for that day should be submitted along with justification for exceeding the per diem. Exceeding the meal per diem will be approved on a case by case basis. Please mail all your receipts ATTN: "QMHP WORKSHOP" to Ms. Thomas at the address below. Please provide us with your receipts a mailing address where the reimbursement check is to be sent.
