Thanks to the Sloan Foundation grant that supports the URSSI Schools on Research Software Engineering, we can reimburse you for your travel expenses (excluding the hotel stay, which should have been directly billed to Oregon State).
- Everyone should have receive an invitation to register as a vendor through OSU's BennyBuy system. You should register as an individual, add your SSN, and then upload a filled W-9 form (though you will not actually be taxed for the reimbursement). If you are asked for a job title / role, you can say "workshop participant". Please make sure you complete this ASAP!
- Separately from the BennyBuy system, download and add your personal information and travel expenses to the "NonOSU_TravelReimbursement-URSSI.pdf" form, which has been pre-populated with some information.
- Add your personal info (leave "OSU ID#" blank)
- In Travel Itinerary section, add your home city. Modify the dates you left and returned home if different.
- In the Meals section, if your travel dates are different, you'll need to modify to account for that.
- Skip the "Claiming Meals at Actual Cost" section.
- On the next page, if you drove to Washington DC, add the dates and mileage to the "Personal Vehicle Mileage" section.
- In the "Other Travel Expenses" section, add your airfare (if you paid for flights yourself) or ground transportation costs (such as train, bus, public transit). Note that we will not reimburse for Lyft/Uber/taxi from the airports to the hotel, unless the Metro was not available.
- If you run out of space in "Ground Transportation", you can use the "Other" lines.
- Use "Parking" if you parked at your home airport (we only allow economy parking).
- Make sure to total up sections if the PDF doesn't do it automatically, then add the total reimbursement amount at the end, to the line with the index and account code specified.
- You'll need to attach receipts for all expenses above $25. Do not include receipts for meals, since we are using the fixed per diem rates.
- Please email a single PDF to Bingxin Lin [email protected] with the subject line "Reimbursement request for URSSI Summer School". You can also email Bingxin with any questions about the reimbursement form.
