  7. Basic Expenditure Considerations • Allowable • Cost item meets sponsor requirements • Allocable • Particular cost item can be specifically identified with the project or can be clearly allocated to the project • Reasonable • Would a prudent person have incurred the expense under the circumstances? • Is the item necessary for the project?

  8. Two Distinct Budget Formats • Non-Modular Format • Used for research grant applications requesting more than $250,000 direct costs per year • Modular Format • Used for research grant applications requesting less than $250,000 direct costs per year

  9. Budget Justification • Specific to the sponsor • Non-Modular and Modular Requirements are different • Provide the justification for each individual in the same order as listed on the budget page (PI first, remaining in role importance) • Present the categories in the same order as on the budget page • Give additional information if it isn’t obvious in the budget
