Project Budget

The MENV program has a clear and explicit expectation that Capstone Partner organizations pay for the costs associated with the project and agreed upon as part of the proposal. (Partner organizations are welcome to directly compensate team members, should they choose to do so.)

Development of the project budget is the Capstone team's responsibility, and must include projection of both expenditures and funding. The group must operate within this budget unless additional funding is obtained. Cost overruns must be covered by the project team members. Funding may be received from a sponsoring organization, provided by team members, allocated by the MENV program (e.g. to support work with under resourced and historically underrepresented organizations), or a combination of the above.
