Examples include materials and supplies, transportation, lodging, conference fees, professional services, printing, software, and data. Under ordinary circumstances, this fund cannot be used to support the purchase of capital equipment (i.e. video cameras, tape recorders, etc.). Students are encouraged to consult with their advisor or other faculty member in preparing their proposal.
