• Help you to frame a budget that complies with agency guidelines and ANU policies. (see Preparing a Budget)
• Check that other parts of your application comply with the guidelines and ANU policies.

Applicants are responsible for:

1. Prepare all application documents required by the funding agency. If you have problems downloading or moving around application forms, see your local IT Support person.
