- Capital cost of some equipment
- PRG staff time to apply for necessary import/export permits, preparation of contracts and application for ethical clearance (as required)
- Hosting of visitors to PRG (researchers, post grad students etc.)
o Office space, lan, photocopiers (access only)
o Laboratory and pilot area space and services
o Admin assistance
o Workshop assistance
Costs that the researcher requesting assistance needs to pay for:
- Laboratory consumables and chemicals for the requested analyses at discounted rates until end October 2017 (see laboratory costing sheet)
- Out of Durban travel and subsistence costs of the PRG staff (air travel, car hire, accommodation, meals etc.)
- Workshop consumables for equipment building / modification etc.
- Any additional labour requirements over and above the PRG staff (i.e. if additional staff is hired to assist in undertaking the analyses)
