The three-column budget has been developed for the convenience of those applicants who wish to identify the project costs that will be charged to Commission funds and those that will be cost shared. In accordance with Federal regulations, the only column that applicants are required to complete is Column C, although applicants may wish to complete Columns A & B in order to provide sufficient detail to allow for a better understanding of their budget request. The method of cost computation should clearly indicate how the total charge for each budget item was determined. If more space is needed for any budget category, please follow the budget format on a separate sheet of paper.

When the requested grant period is eighteen months or longer, separate budgets for each twelve-month period of the project must be developed on duplicated copies of the budget form.

Provide the names and titles of principal project personnel. For support staff, include the title of each position and indicate in brackets the number of persons who will be employed in that capacity. For persons employed on an academic year basis, list separately any salary charge for work done outside the academic year.

For each trip indicate the number of persons traveling, the total days they will be in travel status, and the total subsistence and transportation costs for that trip. When a project will involve the travel of a number of people to a conference, institute, etc., these costs may be summarized on one line by indicating the point of origin as "various." All foreign travel must be listed separately.

Include consumable supplies, materials to be used in the project, and items of expendable equipment, i.e., equipment items costing less than $5,000 per unit.

Include the cost of duplication and printing, long distance telephone, equipment rental, postage, and other services related to project objectives that are not included under other budget categories or in the indirect cost pool.
