To be successful, evaluation and research projects must be adequately resourced. Allocating sufficient funds for the staff involved in the project, including members of your own team and any partners or consultants, is a crucial component of budgeting. The Research/Evaluation Time & Effort Calculator can help estimate the number and time and effort percentage of full-time equivalent (FTE) staff required for a given project.
You can use this tool in conjunction with the Budgeting for Research/Evaluation Tipsheet & Checklist and Research/Evaluation Roles and Responsibilities Mapping Template to identify the expenses and tasks involved in your project and plan out a budget and staffing plan.
