Justify resources

Start 6 months before funding application deadline and complete by 1 month before funding application deadline

Justify the need for and cost of every single item. Make sure you have a paper-trail of quotations as the funding body may ask you for these as part of their due-diligence procedures.

Advice

• Be clear why costs can’t be reduced e.g. parents won’t bring their child to hospital 3 times a week for a study, they’ll only come once, so we do need to fund a nurse to do two home visits a week otherwise we won’t meet our recruitment and retention target. 
• You will only know that if you’ve done (and can quote) the PPI focus group.
