We formulate the problem of experimental design subject to a given budget, in presence of strategic agents who specify their costs. In particular, we focus on linear regression. This is naturally viewed as a budget feasible mechanism design problem. The objective function is sophisticated and is related to the covariance of the $x_i$'s. In particular we formulate the {\em Experimental Design Problem} (\EDP) as follows: the experimenter \E\ wishes to find set $S$ of subjects to maximize
\begin{align}V(S) = \log\det(I_d+\sum_{i\in S}x_i\T{x_i}) \label{obj}\end{align}
with a budget constraint $\sum_{i\in S}c_i\leq B$, where $B$ is \E's budget. %, and other {\em strategic constraints} we don't list here.
-The objective function, which is the key, is obtained by optimizing the information gain in $\beta$ when it is learned through linear regression methods, and is the so-called $D$-objective criterion in the literature.

The above objective is submodular.
