- CIRES employees or students travelling within the state of Colorado for a meeting or workshop do not need to submit a travel request in InsideCIRES if the university is only covering the cost for their conference registration.
- Travelers should submit a request for prior approval if in-state travel costs will include overnight lodging, per diem, parking and/or mileage.
- If travel is wholly within a single day, meals are an allowable expense as long as the trip lasts 12 hours or more. Reimbursement cannot exceed 75% of the daily M&IE per diem rate.
- Meal reimbursement is not allowable if adequate meals are included with lodging, as part of conference/registration fees, or otherwise provided to traveler at no cost. Amounts in excess of meal per diem are not allowable unless part of a required official function.
- On begin and end travel days, reimbursement cannot exceed 75% of the daily M&IE per diem rate.
- Lodging is allowable to the extent the lodging provides reasonable accommodations based on the business needs for the traveler. Travelers should use their travel card to pay for lodging.
