¹ Please note that all visits undertaken/planned must be bilateral. In cases where part or all of the costs associated with a visit is funded by a cost share partner (i.e. RFBR, INSA, CNRS, NSC, NSFC) still provide details of the visit but quote £0 under the budget heading (i.e. ‘subsistence’/’airfare’) to be funded by the cost share partner

² Please note that the consumables expenditure in each year must not exceed £1000

³ ‘Total Underspent’ = ‘amount awarded for year 1’ (or year 2 if this is the final report) minus ‘Total Spent’

⁴ ‘Total Requested’ i.e. the amount to be released by the Royal Society for Year 2 of the project = ‘Total Estimated’ minus ‘year 1 underspend’. If you wish to retain the year 1 underspend (i.e. obtain the full amount awarded/earmarked for year 2) you will need to present an estimated budget of how you propose to spend this amount in addition to the amount awarded for year 2. Should this amount exceed the amount awarded for year 2, the amount released will be capped at the original amount awarded/earmarked for year 2
