I'm applying for an early career fellowship in the UK. The fellowship has a budget of up to £6k per year for research expenses to further the fellow's research activities, which must be requested upfront. Other than travel to conferences, small equipment, and perhaps organising a workshop, does anyone have any good ideas about what this money might be spent on?

1Software licenses and open access fees maybe? Also don't forget money to invite people to come to visit you. – Pieter Naaijkens Jan 12 '15 at 21:47

1Books? At least in some fields, we still read those old musty things. :) – RoboKaren Jan 12 '15 at 23:31

If you plan to participate one or two international conferences than is is not that of a big money. Also, depending on regulations you may be able to get a computer/laptop + some software you need for your work. – Greg Jan 13 '15 at 1:26
The following list is very subject dependent, but some items you might want to include are:
- High Performance Computing time (e.g. comp-sci, physics, maths, chemistry etc)
- Lab or equipment hire costs
- Research technician time (i.e someone who might help acquire data or do some other more routine tasks)
- The all-encompassing "computer-consumables" (that covers quite a lot)
