The justification should indicate how the DECRA candidate will use the project cost funding of $40,000 each year.
State the need and cost for each item requested form the ARC using the same headings in the same order as the budget (Please note there is no need to justify the DECRA salary).
- Provide justification for each item under each yearusing the headings and format in the Budget Justification table below.
- A separate table should be provided for each year with the heading; Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 respectively.
- Items requested across multiple years, that is, Year 1; Year 2; and/or Year 3, should be listed separately for each year.
Fully justify each budget item requested in terms of need and cost.
In justifying the budget, it is not sufficient to claim certain equipment or personnel costs as $X. Rather, the budget justification should state, for example, that a full-time research assistant or technician with a specific level of expertise is required for ‘x’ months. The same level of explanation is required for all items being requested.
Justify and explain the need and cost of economy domestic and international travel for the DECRA Candidate.
