Hello,
I am looking to apply for a small research grant to conduct some research abroad summer 2014. On the grants application page it states:

"The grant should contribute towards actual research costs and not include institutional overheads, applicant’s stipend or publication costs"

My question is: What would constitute as actual research costs? And, what would be seen more as a stipend?

For example, would funding flight and accommodation costs be research costs? or are those more stipend type costs?

Thanks
