An outline of expected expenditures must be provided with the application. IBRO awards substantial funding to approved schools. However, the overall needs of science training and the limited resources currently available to each region require that local and regional organizations as well as other interested sectors in government and industry also help to support the Schools. The organizers are therefore encouraged to generate as much additional resources from donors, sponsors and partners as possible. The additional contributions to the School activities should be included in the application (see also Form 06) and will be acknowledged on the web site and other publications.
10. Itemized Budget
It provides the present elements of the budget with place to indicate the amounts and justification for each item. All amounts should be entered in the same unit (Euros or US Dollars).

A BRIEF NOTE ON ENTERING DATA IN THE FORMS
You can prepare your text in MS Word but you should not copy-and-paste directly it into the form. MS Word creates hidden formatting codes that cannot be displayed in the on-line forms. These hidden codes must be removed from the MS Word file. There are two ways to do this:
1. Copy your text into Notepad and from Notepad, paste the text into the form (this is the preferred way). To copy and paste, mark the original text and use control-C to copy. Place the cursor in the form and use control-V to paste the text
or
2. Use the filter (icon eraser + W) in the Editor to clean the text of MS Word formatting. You may need to remove empty lines.
New data are first "Inserted" in the form. For all subsequent entries, use "Update". In areas where multiple entries are allowed, there will be a button "Add New". Once finished with the entries, use "Continue". If there are no entries, use "Cancel".
Applications will be available on-line for editing until the deadline date - Midnight, EST (Eastern Standard Time, Montreal time).
