Budget Development
Whether you have a list of possible expenditures, a draft worksheet, or need to brainstorm types of costs, our office will assist you in creating your project budget.
The budget is the PI's best estimate of the total cost to complete the objectives identified in the proposal. Consider the different categories of expenditures that you can include in your budget:
- Salaries and wages
- One-time payments
- Fringe benefits and FICA
- Consultants and other contractual services
- Travel
- Supplies
- Subcontracts and subawards
- Tuition
- Equipment rental or purchase
- F&A (indirect costs)
- Cost sharing or matching funds
- Budget revisions, continuations, or supplements
- Budget development tools
- Budget narrative/justification
