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 two most commonly needed Budget Templates are provided below: (1) standard on-campus projects and (2) on-campus projects that require cost share.  

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 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.

Proposal Development Resources by Agency

Quick links to templates and forms published by funding agencies can be found on our office's Proposal Development Resources by Agency page.  Every effort is made to keep this courtesy resource up-to-date; however, ultimately, it is the responsibility of the PI to ensure that all proposal forms, etc. are current. 
 
 

Successful, Sample Proposals

Copies of successful proposals have been collected by ORSP and can be found via our "ORSP Sample Proposal Library" available in Moodle.  Faculty may self-enroll in this Moodle page to gain access.
