Developing a budget requires a meticulous approach that involves:
Needs Assessment: Identifying the resources required based on the scope and objectives of the epidemiological study or intervention. Cost Estimation: Estimating costs for each component, including personnel, equipment, and operational expenses. Funding Sources: Identifying potential sources of funding such as government grants, private sector contributions, and international aid. Financial Planning: Creating a detailed plan that outlines the allocation of funds over the project timeline. Monitoring and Evaluation: Setting up mechanisms for tracking expenditures and assessing the financial performance of the project.
