According to the current NIH Grants Policy Statement:

"Domestic travel is travel performed within the recipient's own country.
For U.S. and Canadian recipients, it includes travel within and between any
of the 50 States of the U.S. and its possessions and territories and also
travel between the U.S. and Canada and within Canada."

In other words, a trip from the U.S. to Canada does not count as
international travel as far as NIH is concerned, so there should be no need
for the suggested flurry of e-mails to ISAC officers and council members.
