If your RLC is planning and/or making purchases for your conference here is some helpful information
RLCs can pay for you to attend conferences. However, they can't use the funds they get from EXITO for this purpose.
EXITO can work with your lab to make purchases using your EXITO funds and plans.
If needed, please connect the person in your lab making the arrangements with Cassandra Ramirez, at EXITOoperations@pdx.edu
If your lab has any questions on your conference funds please have them contact EXITO, EXITOoperations@pdx.edu
Please negotiate this with your Research Mentor
In order for travel hours (traveling from Portland to the conference city) to be counted as RLC hours they must occur within your regular RLC schedule. If you don’t have a regular RLC schedule the travel hours must occur between 8-5 p.m. (as approved by the RLC)
Any time spend at the conference can count as RLC hours (as approved by RLC)
Record any applicable hours on your Monthly Reporting Form (PY2 Trainees) or BanWeb (Program Year 3 Trainees)
