Hello Everyone, Starting another discussion. I am really interested to know what other CRA's out there are allowed to spend on food, hotel, etc on their monitoring visits. I've got $50 a day on meals and the rest is booked by internal travel agent. I find it really hard in some cities to survive on this! Would love to hear your tales! Thanks :-) |

I am a CRA for a small biotech and we do not have any limits for meals, although, if I spent $200 for dinner, my boss might ask me what the heck I had?! In general, the "standard" industry rates are $25 for breakfast, $50 for lunch and $75 for dinner. I usually spend a lot less and considering I skip lunch almost regularly, I never go over that budget. |

Hey QBee, Thanks for your input! Do you travel mostly in CA? I have heard the cost of living is much higher in CA, but that salaries and expense accounts are higher to too. Thanks!

I've never heard of $150.00 per day allowance for meals, let alone an unlimited travel budget (unless you're the president of the company). $50.00 to $75.00 per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is much more common throughout the industry. Your situation is truly unique if you don't own the company. |
