1) Direct Labor

The Principal Investigator will provide 320 man-hours based on a 40 hour work week for a period of 2 months during the summer months. The funds requested totaling $27,766 are based on an annual salary of $124,947 for the academic year (9 months). The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will provide 1280 man-hours based on a 40 hour work week for a period of 8 months. The funds requested totaling $33,333 is based on an annual Postdoctoral salary of $50,000. The Graduate Research Assistant will provide 12 months of service based on a 20 hour work week. The funds requested totaling $24,000 is based on the standard stipend allowed by Columbia University. Also, note that the Graduate Research Assistant will require funding for tuition at the 2004 Fiscal Year rate of $15,265.

2) Fringe Benefits and Indirect Costs [Overhead]

The Fringe Benefit rate for the period July 1, 2004 - June 30, 2005 (Fiscal Year 2004) is 26.4% of salary for the Principal Investigator and Postdoctoral Research Scientist. This is a fixed rate with annual increases in .2% increments. The Overhead rate established by Columbia University is currently fixed at 63.50% of the total direct costs of the project. The indirect cost excludes the Graduate Research Assistant tuition.

3) Permanent Equipment

No permanent equipment is expected to be purchased at this time.

4) Travel

It is expected that the Principal Investigator and Postdoctoral Research Scientist will plan on spending an accumulation of one month at the project site. The funding requested ($8,000) is expected to cover airfare, lodging, meal, and car rental expenses for 2 people, i.e. the PI and Postdoctoral Research Scientist.

5) Materials, Supplies, and Consumables

No materials, supplies and consumables are expected to be purchased at this time.
