Internal Worksheets, Samples & Templates
Budget Worksheets/Justification & Effort Calculator
The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) is responsible for reviewing and approving the budget(s) of all proposals submitted to outside funding agencies. Budget development should be detailed, realistic, and as comprehensive as possible to ensure that all costs of the project have been accounted for. The internal Budget Templates provided below are used by faculty and staff in the preparation of grant budgets. The three most commonly needed Budget Templates are provided below: (1) standard on-campus projects, (2) on-campus projects that require cost share, and (2) projects that primarily take place off-campus.
The internal Budget Templates below include auto-calculating features that provide the most current approved fringe benefits and facilities and administrative costs (F&A) as established by the current rate agreement. When categorized properly, these templates also provide the correct calculation for purchases and/or services that do not incur F&A.
Please choose the proper Budget Template below by first choosing your project's start date and then by choosing your budget template type.
These templates should not be used for Board of Regents Support Fund (BoRSF) programs! Please see the dedicated BoRSF page for the appropriate budget templates.
