EmailThis document outlines the process that EEs, ESs, PIs and staff working on research and programs should use to request travel approval.
1. When traveling to an Extension office on a re-occuring basis, you must request through your district director.
2. When traveling to an Extension office on a sporadic basis, you must request through the one-time programmatic travel waiver.
3. When traveling for in-state MSU Extension business, except research, to request travel approval, you must:
- Submit the one-time/programmatic travel waiver.
- Request travel one month at a time for re-occuring activities.
- When possible, submit two to three days in advance.
4. When traveling for research, and you are the PI, you must obtain the research project number.
Research Project Number:
- Submit Field Research Review System.
- Provide research project number to staff assisting with research.
- Do not request travel within the Field Research Review System.
To then request travel approval, you must submit the one-time programmatic travel waiver with the research project number included in your request.
