3.4.4.5 Obtaining resources for Fields

The support needed for Fields is likely to vary, depending on the priorities set by the Field Co-ordinator. The Co-ordinator of a fully functioning Field may require the support of the 2-4 people described above, as well as possible part-time secretarial support.

Office space and equipment will be required, as well as some supplies and services (e.g. telephone and e-mail services, stationery, photocopying, computer supplies, database searching, purchase of key journals, printing newsletters). Travel funds will be needed for meetings, workshops and conferences.

Funding may also be required to assist regional representatives to meet their responsibilities and to allow members of a Field Advisory Board to attend meetings.
