Need a budget on professional or academic exchanges and projects, including virtual exchanges with the U.S. experts or communities.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION i. Length of performance period: 9 to 18 months. ii. Budget may range from a minimum of BDT 20,00,000 to a maximum of BDT 75,00,000. Guidelines for Budget Justification: Personnel and Fringe Benefits: Describe the wages, salaries, and benefits of temporary or permanent staff who will be working directly for the applicant on the project, and the percentage of their time that will be spent on the project. Travel: Estimate the costs of travel and per diem for this project, for both program staff, consultants or speakers, and participants/beneficiaries. If the project involves international travel, include a brief statement of justification for that travel. Equipment: Describe any machinery, furniture, or other personal property that is required for the project, which has a useful life of more than one year (or a life longer than the duration of the project), and costs at least BDT 4,50,000 per unit. Supplies: List and describe all the items and materials, including any computer devices, that are needed for the project. If an item costs more than BDT 4,50,000 per unit, then put it in the budget under Equipment. Contractual: Describe goods and services that the applicant plans to acquire through a contract with a vendor. Also describe any sub-awards to non-profit partners that will help carry out the project activities. Other Direct Costs: Describe other costs directly associated with the project, which do not fit in the other categories. For example, shipping costs for materials and equipment or applicable taxes. All Other or Miscellaneous expenses must be itemized and explained. Indirect Costs: These are costs that cannot be linked directly to the project activities, such as overhead costs needed to help keep the organization operating.
