Budgeting for Research Grants

  • North Campus Research Complex Building 300, Room 376 (map)

The principal investigator (the project director) has primary responsibility for budget planning for a new proposal. The budget should not only translate the science into numbers but it should also be reasonable, allocable, allowable, and consistently applied. 

Join MICHR for an interactive workshop presenting the basics of budgeting for research grants. Learn how to calculate indirect costs, determine calendar months for effort, complete other budget components, and write a budget justification. We will also talk about how to monitor expenses after you are awarded and the closeout (FFR) process. This budgeting workshop is modeled using a NIH budget format.

This workshop is intended for junior investigators applying for any of MICHR's awards or putting in a new proposal, but it is open to all interested.
