Travel and Subsistence
A proposal may include funds for travel and subsistence for use by applicants where these are required by the nature of the work.
All journeys should be costed by the most suitable and economical means and should be at current prices with no allowance for inflation.
Separately identify journeys to be made within and outside the UK.
Identify the purpose and destination for each journey for which funds are sought.
All journeys should be fully justified in the Justification of Resources.
Subsistence rates, both UK and overseas, should be those applicable within the host organisation for staff travel and subsistence.
Where there are multiple journeys to the same destination for the same purpose please annotate as e.g. London - Paris x 2.
Costs for attendance at conferences may be included where such attendance will be of direct benefit to the research. Conferences should, as far as possible, be individually identified in the proposal.
