Extraordinary Expenses
Extraordinary Expenses
The extraordinary expense allowance of £1,000 per annum may be used for courses, travel to conferences and for personal computer equipment. The four Daphne Jackson Trust courses are compulsory and the associated costs are deducted from the fellow’s allowance. The cost of the courses is £600 in total.
The allowance may also be used for unusual laboratory requirement, solely for the fellow’s use, which the host organisation would not normally have available.
Claims for this allowance may be made by the Fellow directly to the Trust. Both the supervisor and Fellow must agree the use of the allowance and the Trust will adjudicate on the use of the allowance if necessary.
Bench fees and Consumables
Bench fees and consumables are payable by the host organisation and so the extraordinary expense allowance can not be used for bench fees or to cover the cost of consumables. The supervisor must ensure that space, equipment and all facilities necessary for the fellow to carry out the research are available.
The host organisation will provide normal office facilities such as stationery, photocopying, telephone, office space and computer maintenance. It will also provide the cost of day-to-day laboratory disposable items.
Claims for the extraordinary expense allowance should be made by the fellow directly to the trust. Both the supervisor and fellow must agree the use of the allowance and the trust will adjudicate if necessary.
