Example of Budget Justification:
(1) The stipend will support part-time & effort for the student. A student who is a sole PI will receive $1,350 in June and $1,350 in August/September, upon submission of a final report. When more PIs, they will split each stipend evenly.
(2) The student will travel to the National Conference of Undergraduate Research. The student should provide details about the event, and the trip should be related to his/her SURF project. If more than $500 is needed, the SURF travel budget will cover partially the student travel expenses.
(3) Supplies: 25 analytical kits for total dissolved nitrogen, labware for experiment, including 5 250-ml beakers, and 100 pipette tips.
