Grant policies relating to finances, travel and leave

Invoices should be uploaded onto our Grants Management System and submitted quarterly in arrears by the post award administrator. Expenditure must be claimed within twelve months of being incurred.

Allocations for salary and/or running expenses may be vired to other salary and/or running expenses subject to written approval. Please contact the Research team with a full justification for consideration.

Blood Cancer UK is not the employer of staff on the grant. The institute where the grant is administered or staff post held is the employer and as such is responsible for any leave and pay during this time.

Travel for conferences to present research outputs arising directly from the Blood Cancer UK award is an allowable cost for the staff member(s) employed on the grant. Costs can include standard fare travel, accommodation and conference fees. Blood Cancer UK Grant holders are expected to acknowledge Blood Cancer UK in all presentations and/or posters. The amounts available vary by grant scheme. Specific limits will be detailed in the terms and conditions of your grant.
