The document outlines a work plan and budget plan for a research project. The work plan includes a table that lists the tasks to be performed, timeline, responsible personnel, and estimated time needed to complete each task. The budget plan identifies the key resources required for the research, including costs for printing, photocopying, transportation, and data collector allowances. It recommends including a 5-10% contingency and preparing budget justifications.
