Expenses

The non-employee expenses (NEE) portal can be used for claiming panel fees and expenses in relation to panel meetings. If you have a non-UK bank account, please use the expenses claim form instead:

Please contact pso@ahrc.ukri.org for assistance with the NEE portal. If you are only claiming for panel fees, please leave both the expenses and fees section blank and the team will enter the amount payable.

For non-UK bank accounts, please ensure that all sections of the expenses claim form and your signature are completed before sending it to pso@ahrc.ukri.org so that the team can process your claim as quickly as possible. If you are only claiming for panel fees, there is no need to fill out the ‘details of business expenses’ section.

Peer review principles
