Per Diem

This payment is to a staff member, volunteer or program participant to offset travel costs, such as meals and incidentals, for project business. Please note that no reimbursements will be issued for meal or incidental expenses on days when individuals receive a travel per diem.

If you are planning to request a per diem, please look up the per diem rate that is specific to your trip as calculated through the GSA’s website. 

Please submit a per diem request via the AP Form. Be sure to outline in detail the purpose and dates of the trip, and submit a pdf of the per diem rate established by GSA. Project directors may decide to provide a lower per diem rate than the rate set by GSA, but they may not provide a per diem rate that exceeds the rate set by GSA.
