Your proposed budget should identify all the expenses that are necessary and reasonable for your successful conference participation. While it may seem like a good idea to stay at the conference for fewer days to minimize your budget request, OUR recognizes the value of participating in the full conference agenda-as long as you can stick within the allowable budget and you have made arrangements with your professors to make up missed assignments, OUR supports students staying for the entirety of a conference.  \nWhat to Include in the Budget?  \n● Include all travel expenses (transportation, lodging, meals, registration, etc. )  \n● Include a per day cost as well as a total cost for each budget item  \n● If you are sharing costs with another traveler (i.e., hotel room, rental car, etc. ), then you should include the total cost as well as the per person cost  \n● Include both (1) a table of anticipated costs of your travel as well as (2) a written description of what travel-related expenses you will incur (i.e., the Budget Justification)  \n● You may include local transportation to get between the airport and the hotel and the hotel and conference center, but not for more personal local transportation, such as going to dinner after the conference  \n● Meals that are not provided at the conference can be included in your budget ($6 for breakfasts, $11 for lunches, and $19 for dinners)  \n● Cost of rental car and gas or mileage for a personal vehicle, including gas  \n● The total cost of the trip should be explicitly stated. If the cost of the trip is greater than allowed ($1,000), you should clearly state how you will pay for the additional expenses.  \nThings to Consider While Drafting:  \n● Is your budget realistic? Credible?  \n● Will you need to print a poster for presentation at the conference? (cost is ~$45 at the Commons Service Desk)  \n● How much funding will you be requesting from OUR? Do the budget math before submitting to reviewers. Example: “I request a total of $1,000 from OUR for this trip.”  \n● Every item listed in the budget should be discussed in the Budget Justification  \n● Ideally, the reviewer should be able to look at your budget table and justification and have a general sense of where you are going, how long you will be staying, etc.  \n● Talk to your faculty mentor and dept Office Administrator to obtain University negotiated rates and prices – this will make your budget go farther and will tell the reviewer that you have done your planning  \n● Think about ways to extend limited dollars –ex. cost share where possible; don’t pick The Ritz Carleton when the Travel Lodge will work; airline fees for checking bags may be inappropriate if your conference is only for 2 days  \n● UWF has specific guidelines related to travel – make sure that your request considers these guidelines (talk to your Dept’s Office Administrator if you have questions)  \n● Travel must initiate on campus (whichever campus is your “home” campus) or your home, whichever is less – for example, if your conference is in Mobile, you must use the distance from Pensacola, even if you live in Milton  \n● Check your math before you submit!– you want to put your best foot forward and make your reviewers happy  \nExample Budget  \nfor an OUR Travel Award Application  \n\n| ITEM | DESCRIPTION | VENDOR | TOTAL COST |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Airfare | Roudtrip airfare from Pensacola to Bozeman, MT | Delta | $625 |\n| Lodging | 3 nights lodging @ $150 .00/night = $450 total room cost; will be shared by 2 students ($450/2) = $225 cost per student | Springhill Suites | $225 |\n| Conference\u003Cbr>Registration | Student enhanced institutional member, early-bird, registration rate | CUR | $1","cbCailzPDsG9iJ8L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailzPDsG9iJ8L","pdf",119267,"English","# Budget Section Writing Guide\n## Goal of the Budget Section\n## What to Include in the Budget?\n## Things to Consider While Drafting\n## Example Budget","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Budget Section in an OUR Travel Award application?\",\"answer\":\"The Budget Section shows that the proposed conference travel costs are reasonable, complete, and within the allowable program budget.
