In addition to the two-page proposal, proposers should attach a budget and budget justification for up to $15,000 (before fringe benefits) that must be expended before June 30th, 2023 (note that although we require funds to be spent this fiscal year, there will be an opportunity for additional support to continue students over the summer). Budget should include as much detail as possible, i.e., type of student support, salary/stipend amount, equipment needed, etc.
Funds can be used for:
Research assistant support (undergraduate/graduate student, postdoc, etc.). Because of the timing of the award, we will work with departmental staff to change GA funding and we will allow for corrections for funding to begin in January

Costs for hosting and travel for visiting scholars
Essential travel or equipment in direct support of project goals
Faculty summer salary
