COVERING MEETING EXPENSES
Per SAMHSA’s policy: Grantees may use PBHCI funds for travel to the regional Learning Community meetings. Grantees may re-budget, transfer, or re-allocate funds within and between budget categories without prior approval from the Grants Management Office up to 25% of the total award amount. Anything more would require a written request for the grantee to be approved by Grants Management. The only exception is if the grantee never budgeted funds in a cost category (or categories) and now the grantee wants to move funds into that category (or categories), and then the grantee must submit a request to re-budget funds to that category (or categories) along with a detailed budget breakdown.
In the event that PBHCI funds cannot support travel to the regional meeting, CIHS is offering a limited number of scholarships to help offset costs. Scholarships of up to $600 per person may be used for transportation and hotel stay. To submit a scholarship request, e-mail Emma Green at .
