Preparing the Budget Request
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Preparing the Grant Budget
What is a grant budget?
It is the Principal Investigator/Project Director’s best estimate of the expenses
that will be incurred during the course of the project.
It should accurately reflect the work proposed in the narrative The budget is a firm offer on the part of the institution Carefully follow the sponsor’s instructions and format
requirements
Major budget categories: Salaries and Wages Fringe Benefits Travel Equipment Supplies Subcontracts and Consultants Other Direct Costs Facilities & Administrative (F&A) Costs
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Salaries and Wages Percent Effort = Anticipated percent of time each position will
work directly on grant project in relation to total time spent on TTUHSC duties
• There is no such thing as a 40 hour work week
• Some faculty may average closer to 60 hours/week
Use current or anticipated salary
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Salaries and Wages May apply inflationary increase (2 or 3%) for subsequent years
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
From NIH FAQ:
Guide Notice NOT-OD-12-036 states NIH will no longer be providing cost-of-living/inflationary increases in awards. Can applicants still request such increases in competing grants?
There is an important difference between what an applicant can request and what NIH will actually provide on an award. In this case, application instructions have not changed. Applications with a detailed budget can continue to request cost-of-living/inflationary increases in accordance with institutional policy. We recognize that institutions may desire to do this to document actual needs for budgeting and accounting purposes. However, under the current budget climate, it is likely that requests associated solely with inflationary increases will be eliminated from the awarded budget. Requests associated with special needs (e.g., equipment, added personnel or increased effort) will continue to be considered.
When preparing an application using the modular budget format, existing policy remains in place--the number of modules requested should be the same each year and variations must be justified. Requests for an additional module solely to accommodate inflationary increases will not be considered.
Salaries and Wages
Salary Cap:• NIH: Executive Level II currently at $181,500
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/salcap_summary.htm
• CPRIT: $200,000
NIH Example:Dr. X: Salary $125,000 x 10% effort = $12,500 salary requested from grant
Dr. Y: Salary $200,000 - exceeds NIH federal salary cap currently at $181,500
$181,500 x 10% effort = $18,150 salary requested from grant
If funded, must establish separate Salary Cap Cost Sharing Fund
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Salaries and Wages continued
Federal grants – how to calculate “Calendar Month” Example:
50% effort with a 12 month appointment:
.50 X 12 = 6 calendar months devoted to project
Example:
10% effort with a 12 month appointment:
.10 x 12 = 1.2 calendar months devoted to project
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Fringe Benefits TTUHSC does not have a flat fringe benefit rate Rate varies by employee pay grade and full/part time status
Fringe Benefits consists of: Social Security Workers Compensation Health Insurance – this is the reason for the variability Vacation Retirement plan payments

Subcontracts
Subcontracts transfer a portion of the research or work of the prime award to another institution.
If we are the lead, include the following for each sub:
• Subcontractor institution name and PI name
• Detailed budget
• Statement of work
If they are the lead, a Letter of Intent might be required in addition to the documents above. Must be routed through Sponsored Programs even if TTUHSC is not the lead applicant.
Consultants
• List by name
• Hourly rate, number of hours, other expenses
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Other Direct Costs
Includes: Duplication costs (specifically for project) Long-distance telephone charges Books and reference materials Participant costs Shipping expenses for goods and services
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Indirect Costs
Indirect costs are costs incurred for common or joint objectives which cannot be identified specifically with a particular sponsored project
• Examples: Utilities, maintenance, building and equipment use, administrative costs, library costs, and student service costs.
• Most sponsored projects include a percentage of the direct cost to cover these charges.
• This percentage is commonly known as the Facilities and Administration rate (F&A) or the Indirect Cost rate.
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
PREPARING A GRANT APPLICATION
Calculating Indirect Costs (F&A)
The Facilities and Administration rate (F&A) rate for TTUHSC is negotiated with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Date of agreement: January 20, 2012 Rate is effective until: September 1, 2014; provisional until amended
Rate Applicable To Locations

PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Cost Sharing (TTUHSC OP 65.11) A commitment made by the institution to fund a portion of the
total cost of a sponsored project Mandatory cost sharing* – required by sponsor Voluntary cost sharing – not required by sponsor and discouraged by
TTUHSC as this negatively impacts our indirect cost rate
• Committed cost sharing* – amount is specified
– Example – Dr. Green 10% effort; no funds requested
• Uncommitted cost sharing – amount is not specified
– Example – Dr. Green will provide scientific direction related to certain (specify) aspects of the project; no funds requested
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Cost Sharing
•Mandatory and voluntary committed cost sharing must be documented in a separate Fund which requires Effort Reporting.
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Cost Sharing Committed Un-committed
Sponsor Requires Mandatory Commitment
n/a
Sponsor Does Not Require
Voluntary Commitment
Voluntary – Not Tracked
Impact of Cost Sharing Institution redirects resources to support a specific project
beyond the funding level provided by the sponsor Reduces flexibility of researchers to conduct other research
by obligating effort on this project Decreases the recovery of indirect costs Increases administrative burden (separate cost sharing FOP &
effort reporting)
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
Cost Sharing – impact on federal grants
2 CFR 200 Uniform Rule, § 200.306 Cost sharing or matching.
PREPARING THE BUDGET REQUEST
“(a) Under Federal research proposals, voluntary committed cost sharing is not expected. It cannot be used as a factor during the merit review of applications or proposals, but may be considered if it is both in accordance with Federal awarding agency regulations and specified in a notice of funding opportunity. Criteria for considering voluntary committed cost sharing and any other program policy factors that may be used to determine who may receive a Federal award must be explicitly described in the notice of funding opportunity.”
Alternatives to Cost Sharing Examples of language that can be used as an alternative to
making a cost sharing commitment that must be documented:• Professor X will provide scientific direction and supervision for the project
including…
• Professor X will have significant involvement throughout the project. She will be providing expert advice and consultation on all aspects of the project.
• Dr. Y is Principal Investigator and requests 30% salary support for the project. He will provide additional support as needed.
• The equipment is available for the performance of the sponsored agreement at no direct cost to the sponsor.

Subcontractor submits invoices to TTUHSC for work performed
Principal Investigator /Department responsibilities:• Approve payment after reviewing reports/invoices and ensuring that work was performed
• Determine level of risk of subrecipients and monitor accordingly
• Review all reports submitted on the progress of the work
• Any usual or unforseen items should be investigated
• Approve payment of invoices. Keep evidence of review of invoices on file (PI or staff signature, email correspondence, etc)
• Perform on site visits/audits as necessary
• Notify Sponsored Programs if right to audit needs to be exercised. Assistance from Research Compliance Officer is recommended.
WHAT ADMINISTRATORS NEED TO KNOW
Grant subcontracts – where TTUHSC is the subcontractor (not the prime recipient) Contracts are initiated by prime recipient to TTUHSC (OSP negotiates terms) Accounting Services submits monthly invoices to prime for work performed
• Invoices are based upon expenses charged to the grant Fund at the end of each month
• PI/Department is responsible for reviewing charges monthly to ensure that accurate invoices are submitted to prime
PI is responsible for any programmatic reporting required by prime Notify OSP if there are issues with the prime (i.e. non-payment of invoices,
collaborative issues, publication disputes) All funds belong to prime who can terminate agreement at their discretion
