Introduction

These guidelines are intended to assist researchers in the preparation of budgets for consultancies or contract research activities. In times of cutbacks in funding to Universities and consequent cutbacks to departments and centres, it is increasingly important to consider ways of recovering the full costs of research.

For guidelines to assist researchers in full cost recovery for research refer to the Policy on Recovery of Infrastructure and Services Costs in Research Budgets located in the Handbook of University Policies and Procedures.
