How do I estimate a budget?
Academic Year Grants: Include all expenses that are necessary and relevant for your research. Expenses might include travel costs (airfare, food, lodging), laboratory supplies (e.g., slides, chemicals, mice), compensation for interviewees or survey respondents, necessary photocopies (e.g. from library or archives). Academic Year Grants cannot be used to pay for equipment over $75 or for books available from the library or through Interlibrary Loan.
Summer Grants: Summer grants are intended to provide support for living expenses during an 8-week period of research. You do not need to submit a budget for these expenses. If your research requires international travel, you should submit an itemized budget of these travel expenses.
