This page includes guidance for the allow support for NPC fellowship. Awards may include travel to/from the lab and local expenses while resident at Fermilab. Travel to conferences or other meetings is not covered. 

• Local Expenses while resident:
  • Per Diem: Maximum $55/day
  • Lodging:
    • Maximum $25/day for lodging for onsite logging at Fermilab
      • All fellows are required to stay onsite if onsite housing is available. Information will be provided upon acceptance of the fellowship.
    • Maximum $115+tax/day for offsite lodging, will be supported only when on site lodging is not available. Hotel will be booked by the lab.
  • Car Rental:
    • Maximum $60/day for stays of less than 1 month
    • Maximum $30/day for stays of 1 month or greater
    • Rental Cars must be booked through the lab.
• Transportation Expenses:
  • The cost of one return trip to the lab is covered, and the minimum stay at the lab must be at least two weeks
    • Airfare:  Airfare will be normally be covered, but it must be purchased through the Fermilab Travel Office and all Fermilab Travel Rules must be followed for it to be reimbursable. These rules may have significant impact on the cost of international air travel. Assume costs at standard economy rates, up to $1750 for international flights and $750 for domestic, except in exceptional circumstances.
    • Personal Vehicle: Using your personal car for your return journey to/from the lab may be reimbursable at the DOE approved rates. This is dependent on the assessment of the relative cost of flying and driving.
    • Taxi to/from Airport: For travel back and forth from home to airport & Chicago airports to Fermilab assume maximum $200 round trips in total.

Any additional requests for support beyond what is discussed above must be fully documented and justified. These will be considered but there is no guarantee for any support beyond what is discussed above.

You can certainly ask for less than these amounts by leveraging funds from other sources:  keep in mind that we do take into consideration, among other criteria, the physics impact per support level requested.
