The costs to be incurred by the project through this agreement are based on the time and effort of Vibeke Talley, OTR/L, her travel for intervention work, phone expenses, s laptop pc on which to collect data, and overhead.

She will help with recruitment before the intervention (3 months) and analysis and writing afterwards (7 months). We used a rate of 10 hours per week for those non-intervention periods and 20 hours per week for the intervention period. We calculated mileage' expense accordingly so that 9 months of the estimated expense of travel-fall into year one and 5 months into year 2.
