Additional Expenses:
 Meals are provided during the symposium; therefore, meals taken elsewhere during the course of the symposium are not reimbursable. Meals taken enroute to the meeting site, however, are reimbursable. Other reimbursable non-incidental, travel expenses include: usage of privately owned vehicles (56¢ per mile), ground transportation to or from your home airport, airport parking, tips, and tolls. Because NAE is a nonprofit organization and this program is supported by government funds, please consider cost when choosing ground transportation between your home and the airport. For example, NAE cannot cover the cost of sedan service, and rental cars are not reimbursable.

Reimbursement:
U.S. speakers and organizers will be required to submit an electronic travel expense report (eTER) within 30 days after the meeting to be reimbursed for any travel-related expenses. Please retain receipts for all expenses that you wish to have reimbursed since we reimburse actual expenses only. Meal receipts must be itemized. Please contact FOE staff for further detailed, individualized eTER instructions once travel has been completed.
