    Dear Cayuse Community,

    I'm a new Research Administrator at a university and have a question about federal grants. Is travel insurance an allowable expense? Thank you in advance.

    During COVID, the allowability fell on the organizations. If your institution has policy on travel insurance, you should follow that. That guidance is provided for a number of cost categories, so I'd imagine it's the same now. Remember, allocable and reasonable. If your institution does not have a policy on travel insurance, the cost should be well-justified, and the sponsor will generally make a determination upon review.
