Graduate students who experience injury or illness that arises from conducting University sponsored research will have their related medical expenses covered fully by the University. A student should not incur any cost associated with an injury that occurred while conducting research. Below is information on how this coverage applies.

When does this coverage apply:

• Injury/illness that arises while conducting University sponsored research, either on campus or injury/illness that occur in connection with University sponsored research or teaching activities off campus.(Illness or injury that does not occur while conducting research does not fall under this coverage, but is covered under the Student Health Plan)
• Work being performed is supporting or is sponsored by a faculty member or the University.
• Faculty member or department manager should be advised of the accident as soon as possible.

What is covered:

• Medical costs that are not paid by the graduate student’s health coverage (Student Health Plan or University International Health Insurance coverage)
• Any out of pocket medical expenses incurred (prescriptions, co-pays, etc..)

Procedure for payment:

• Contact Risk Management, [email protected] and advise them of the incident. This can be done by the Department Manager, faculty member or the student who sustained the injury or illness.
• Submit all Explanation of Benefits, bills and receipts via e-mail to [email protected]. Risk Management will contact the student who sustained the injury or illness and will pay the medical provider directly (and/or provide reimbursement to the student for any medical costs they may have already paid out of pocket).
• All members of the Princeton University community are required to enroll the details of domestic and international University Travel in the Enroll My Trip system. This ensures travelers have access to information and resources prior to departure and better positioning University resources in the event of a health, safety, or security incident while traveling. This also provides for full medical coverage when traveling internationally through the University International Health coverage. The University may be limited in its ability to support travel that is not enrolled.
