If the Diners Card is revoked for non-payment, this will reflect on the cardholder s personal credit history. Diners Cards may be used worldwide anywhere the card is accepted. ORAU encourages card use only for official travel expenses, including cash advances, lodging, meals, rental cars, and registration fees. Funds to support research participation appointments are provided by the host facility. Stipends are paid on the last day of the month and are prorated for the number of days participated during the month.
Many facilities directly handle travel logistics for their participants.
Tuition and fees may be paid for the occasional university course, short-term training by reputable vendors, registration for conferences, medical examinations, and personal protective equipment to be used by the participant. These are more permanent, tangible items that the host facility should provide.
