Given the rapidly changing situation involving COVID-19, Research Manitoba recognizes that there may be an impact on researchers with plans to travel for meetings or other research-related activities.
Individuals may decide to cancel trips as a result of various considerations and factors such as cancelled conferences, travel advisories (including those from Health Canada and Global Affairs Canada), or personal choice due to health or other concerns.
Research Manitoba confirms that the reimbursement of non-refundable travel fees from our research funds is acceptable considering the impacts of COVID-19. This applies to the travel of both principal investigators and research personnel, when cancellation occurs as described above.
