Planning your budget
Specialist equipment and software• Research related materials (e.g.,test
kits if not available internally)• Assistance with coding and transcribing• Reimbursement for approved local
travel to a designated research site• Remuneration for participants• Printing and postage for large mail-outs
15
Planning your budget (2)
You may in some circumstances be able to get funding for:• Equipment for distance candidates (this does not
normally include computers)• Items of specialised equipment not already available
within areas. • Attendance at training workshops directly relevant to
the candidate's topic.• Attendance at conferences without presenting a paper.• Library membership fees for internationally based
external candidates.• Field research
16
Not (normally) funded
• Data entry• Research Assistance (but transcription or coding for blinded
studies are allowable )• Laptop purchase (when available for loan from Department for
limited time)• Equipment that can reasonably be expected to be supplied by
the Department (e.g. stationery, photocopying) or equipment available for loan such as recording equipment (see Technical staff)
• Costs related to thesis production• Conference travel costs if not presenting at the conference• Alcohol consumption during conference attendance• Text books• Workshop or course enrolment unless it is part of a conference
or if attendance is fundamental to thesis design and analysis, and appropriate support is not available internally
17
Planning your research-related travel
1. You should normally be presenting a paper at the conference to be eligible to apply for conference funding. Conference presentations must be based on work related to your HDR research.
2. Supportive documentation such as conference information, confirmation of presentation, conference fee options, to be attached to the application (or must be supplied before funds can be released).
3. All other costs over and above the grant are at your own expense. 4. You must provide a clear but brief justification and indication that
you have investigated accommodation options, in line with University policies.
5. Costs may include travel, accommodation, poster printing (through MQ Printery), a contribution towards living expenses and conference registration at the lowest applicable rate, but will not include association membership unless this is a mandatory condition of presentation. Living expenses should be based on 50% of the Australian Tax Office per diem rate for the location of the conference, but reimbursement will only be made against receipts.
18
Sources of funding
1) Your Department
2) The Postgraduate Research Fund (PGRF) – up to $4000, available once during candidature

What is LINGALRS?
LINGALRS, Academic Literacy for Research Students, is a web-based resource designed to help HDR students in the Human Sciences improve their academic writing. However, while the focus is on the human sciences, the content may be of use to HDR students across the campus. Each module includes a discussion of a specific aspect of academic writing, together with examples to illustrate the points being made. After you have read the discussion, you are invited to apply what you have learned both by analysing texts written by authorities in the field and then by analysing you own writing.
22
What does LINGALRS include?
LINGALRS currently includes 8 modules: Module 1: Writing a Thesis Proposal Module 2: Writing a Literature Review Module 3: Writing a Research Article Module 4: Expressing Your Voice Module 5: Stance: Interacting with your Readers Module 6: Topic Sentences and Organising an Argument Module 7: Constructing Cohesive and Coherent Paragraphs Module 8: Inductive and Deductive Organisation of
Arguments
23
How do I access LINGALRS?
To access these modules, you need to create a Blackboard account for yourself: go to the Student Portal and follow the instructions. Once you have a Blackboard account, you will need to Self-enrol in LINALRS, which you can do by following the instructions. If you have any problems, please contact Jean Brick: [email protected]
