Are detailed budgets necessary for the development of modules at the time of application?
This matter is left to the discretion of the applicant institution. It may be necessary for institutions to require certain budgetary detail from principal investigators for purposes of determining exclusions from the base when calculating facilities and administrative (indirect) costs. In addition, institutions may need to ensure that adequate resources are being requested for the proposed research activity. However, any budgetary details required by the institution are for its internal use only and should not be submitted in the application.
