Budget Justification
- This project will require me to do transcribe original tapes by listening to CDs. This task will take approximately 23 hours over the course of the semester. At a rate of $7.65/hour, this amounts to 23 hours x $7.65/hour = $175.95 in student stipend.
- I will work on this project 10 hours a week, including a weekly meeting with my research mentor (150 hours total). However, I am only requesting compensation for 95 hours of work. At a rate of $7.65/hour, this amounts to 95 hours x $7.65/hour = $726.75 in student stipend.
- A subscription to The Chronicle of Higher Education will allow me to understand the results of this study in the context of modern issues in higher education.
- Five websites will be examined over the grant period. All of them are free except Spanishpod101.com. A premium membership will give me full access to genuine conversational Spanish spoken by Costa Rican natives.
- The chemicals and laboratory supplies listed are required to carry out the procedure of Allen and coworkers. (insert reference)
- All the books contain background information to better understand the Afghan society in the 1970s.
