 A 36 month project has costed 120 hours (@ £550 ph) with £66,000 as a directly incurred budget project.  The MRI director informs Research finance of actual usage and these hours are charged at the rate specified in the initial funding application. Any unused funds cannot be ‘banked’ as credits for future used once the grant has ended.
+**Other sources of funding**
+PhD studentships and other ad-hoc sources of scanner income will be charged in full at the start of the project if possible rather than charged by usage. The student will have access to the scanner throughout the project for the number of hours specified in the application.

 Before starting to book participants, it is advised that you arrange a meeting with Ari in the MRI suite to set up a draft protocol for the study, and develop a detailed piloting plan that allows you to: test/develop new sequences, adequately test stimulus presentation, assess data quality/effect sizes your paradigms, and ensure participant comfort for your protocol.
