Attachments

Budget Detail Worksheet (Attachment #1)

The applicant must provide a budget that (1) is complete, allowable, and cost effective in relation to the proposed activities, (2) shows cost calculations that demonstrate how the applicant arrived at the amount requested, and (3) provides a brief supporting budget narrative that links costs with project implementation.

Applicants must submit the budget worksheet and budget narrative in one file. The worksheet provides the detailed computation for each budget item (often in spreadsheet format). The narrative justifies or explains each budget item and relates it to project activities.

  • Budget Worksheet. The budget worksheet must list the cost of each budget item and show how the cost was calculated. For example, costs for personnel should show the annual salary rate and the percentage of time devoted to the project for each employee to be paid through grant funds. Note: Total costs specified in the budget detail worksheet must match the total amount requested.

  • Budget Narrative. The budget narrative should closely follow the content of the budget worksheet and justify all proposed costs. For example, the narrative should explain how fringe benefits were calculated, how travel costs were estimated, why particular items of equipment or supplies must be purchased, and how overhead or indirect costs (if applicable) were calculated. The budget narrative should justify the specific items listed in the budget worksheet (particularly supplies, travel, and equipment) and demonstrate that all costs are reasonable.

Use the sample budget detail worksheet as a guide in the preparation of the budget worksheet and budget narrative.

Program Narrative (Attachment #2)

The program narrative must be double spaced, use a standard 12-point font (Times New Roman is preferred) with 1-inch margins, and not exceed eight pages. (Please number pages "1 of 8," "2 of 8," and so forth.) The program narrative must address the selection criteria in the order given. Submissions that do not adhere to the format will be deemed ineligible.
