FUNDING SUPPORT

Overall budget to be determined based on the number of applications received. The following items will be covered in the funding:

1. SG-ISAP will cover fees for beamtime shifts, Economy-class return airfare, subsistence allowance and airport/ground transfers.
2. For beamtime shifts at Australian Synchrotron (AS), lodging will be provided by AS for users/travellers.
3. A maximum of three travellers will be funded per application.
4. Funding will be provided as a single-line budget and variation is allowable between the amounts determined for airfares and airport/ground transfers. However, if fewer people travel than the number in the application, the maximum funding level will be reduced. The budget will be provided in a separate approval letter after confirmation/allocation of beamtime shifts has been finalised by overseas synchrotron and SG-ISAP.
