Who?

For the Travel Grant funds will be transferred from AfOx to the department of the Oxford applicant. Administration of Travel Grants will be the responsibility of the department of the Oxford applicant including visa, travel and other financial expenditure. Applicants should discuss management of the award with their administrative teams before making an application to ensure they are able to support the activities proposed in the application.

It is the responsibility of the applicants to agree all proposed activities with your department administrative teams and confirm they are able to support these within the proposed timeline. Please discuss and approve timelines for visa application, securing accommodation, travel arrangements and the arrangements for paying for services with your administrative team before applying. 

Starter Grant funding can be managed either by the host African institution or if preferred, by the partner Oxford department. For applicants with the intention of managing the grants from an African institution we encourage you to take the Good Financial Grant Practice assessment  which provides an innovative and integrated approach to standardise, simplify and strengthen financial governance of grant funding.
