Compiling and updating a budget for a grant application can be unnecessarily time consuming. A comprehensive budget may require a researcher to track down rates and quotations, updating currencies and indirect costs according to different funders' requirements. These are only a few of the hurdles faced by researchers.

BudgetUP is a budget resource tool that assists UP researchers to compile line-item budgets according to UP policies.

The Department of Research and Innovation (DRI) will host a two-hour session that will cover the following: 

1. The basics of compiling a line-item budget
2. Tips on writing budget justifications
3. When and how to include VAT
4. Calculating indirect/institutional cost

Researchers who attend this session will be able to:

1. Save time by requesting DRI to assist with quotations/rates
2. Adjust currency with the touch of a button
3. Adjust indirect and annual escalation rates
4. Access UP rates for campus accommodation, UP car fleet, etc
5. Save, copy and modify grant budgets easily
