Description:

There is much for an investigator and project administrator to consider when developing a budget for a grant application, such as what can be requested, how is the budget calculated, and is the request appropriate. NIH Program and Grants Management Officers will guide you on finding the answers to these questions by providing valuable information for preparing a proper grant budget. This event took place during the 2023 NIH Virtual Grants Conference

Objective:

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:


  • explain the major differences between modular vs. categorical budgets;
  • list the most common budget submission errors;
  • list pre-award costs and post-award actions; and
  • develop and justify budget requests for grant applications.
