Does every collaborator have to fill out a separate budget worksheet in the Excel Project Budget Template?
Only researchers on a project team who need to handle/manage money independently from other researchers on the team, assuming funding is approved, and who will need to have a separate grant account set up for their portion of the project, need to fill out a separate budget sheet in the Excel Project Budget Template. For example, if there are 8 researchers on the project team, and 3 of these work closely together and all of their project costs relate, for example, to a shared post-doc, a shared contract technician, perhaps stipends for one or more graduate students, or shared expenses for laboratory supplies and equipment operation, then a single budget sheet in the template could be completed covering the combined expenses for these 3 researchers. If each of the other 5 researchers required separate budget allocations within the overall project, each of these 5 would complete a separate sheet in the Excel Project Budget Template.
