Program Details

This program will be administered by Universities Research Association, Inc., normally through reimbursement to the researcher’s home institution.

Visitors will remain employees of their home institutions. In cases where institutional health coverage may not meet the requirements for longer stays at Fermilab, additional health coverage for the time at Fermilab must be obtained by the visitor or his/her institution; the cost of such supplemental coverage may be included in the budget.

Awards from URA will be made through the home institution of the awardee upon receipt from the home institution of an invoice detailing all costs to be covered by the award. Because these funds are provided by URA and come solely from contributions by URA member institutions, it is expected that the visitor’s home institution will agree to waive indirect costs, tuition fees, and any other administrative expenses.
