Competition for research funding has never been as intense as it is now, and every error in your proposal puts you at a disadvantage.  Drafting your travel budget requires careful planning and a strong understanding of rules and restrictions.  Your ability to build a budget that follows federal standards and guidelines lets reviewers know that you have the professional experience and judgment necessary to lead a potentially large research grant. 

The following steps will guide you through the process of budgeting and booking travel to ensure that you make the right decisions at every step of the way.  These steps follow guidelines for federally-funded travel.

Use the General Services Administration per diem calculator to estimate your meal and lodging expenses when you travel to or within the United States.  Use the Department of State per diem calculator when you travel outside the United States.  Unless otherwise indicated in the sponsor's proposal instructions, these tools should be used to justify lodging, meal, and incidental costs.
