Creating a timeline and budget for your project is an often underestimated core skill. Projects often have hidden time commitments and costs that lead to unexpected expenses, which creates unintended barriers to project completion and sustainability. In collaboration with your mentor and senior leadership at your project site, create a timeline and budget for your DPI Project. This timeline and budget will be embedded in your final manuscript.
