Budget
All applications should include a detailed budget and justification of all anticipated expenses. Where funding from different sources is being sought or has been granted, this information should also be included.
The purchase of equipment, materials, and supplies must be directly related to the project and must be justified in terms of what is already available in the Faculty of University. Quotes must be attached for all items over $500. All equipment and non-disposable materials and supplies purchased with Faculty Research and Professional Development Funds become the property of the Faculty. These items should be returned to the Resource Centre for Research in Education (RCRE). If the project involves in-kind services from the Faculty of Education (such as word processing, statistical analyses, and so forth) must be listed, as well as the extent of their anticipated use, in number of hours.
In the case of travel to conferences within driving distance (such as Montreal and Toronto), the least expensive means of transportation will be given priority. In exceptional cases, where a request is made for higher transportation costs, a case justifying the increased costs must be presented to the Committee. Local travel expenses are not admissible.
When the project involves hiring a research assistant, the S1 Job description form - CUPE 2626 (SEE Michel Brabant to fill in form S1) must be filled in by the professor and submitted with the grant application in order to comply with the Graduate Students Collective Agreement.
