Proposed DACRRI Sample Description for use in Budget Preparation

"The UBC Department of Computer Science charges for the direct costs of technical support. This includes installation and support of equipment; technical support for researchers; print, file and network servers; printing and copying; and similar direct costs. The estimated costs of these services for this research project are $ DollarFigure." The estimate for the upcoming years is based on projections of actual direct costs for the previous year.

In the above text, $ DollarFigure is currently estimated by the department as being 2% for 2012/2013, 5% for 2013/2014). Calculate the $ DollarFigure for your grant using this estimate.

The research-related expenses for the department should be updated on a yearly basis, and the projection revised based on this.
