After convincing the significance and feasibility of your project plan, it finally comes down to the money. In this part, the point is to clarify the use of most of the dollars (except for the unitemized budget), and convince the readers that your plan is reasonable and desirable.
For those who are doing unfunded research, like us, it may not be necessary to talk about budget right now. But for the people conducting long-term studies, like the PhD research of Dr. Holmevik, it is important to ask money to recruiting participants, or purchase technological equipment.
If I conduct the experiment for my research in China, I may apply for the funds from agenda supporting international studies. The budget I could think of now generally includes my flight tickets, visa application fees, the gifts for the participants, the rental for the research room and equipment, like TV, CD/DVD player, video camera, eye-tracking equipment and software, and the software for data analysis, and lastly, the expense of printing questionnaires.
