Tips to help you build a stronger proposal

Proposals are much more likely to be rejected if they don't include a detailed budget estimate.

That means you need to submit evidence to justify your travel estimates, the same way you do when you submit proposals through the Concur platform. Give us screenshots for hotels, flights, and other transportation.

Also, this program does not cover per diem expenses or food. Do not include those expenses in your budget proposal.
