How many budgets should be presented in the Clinical Center application?
A total of five budgets will be included in the application: 1) Core Budget, 2) Clinical Research Skills Development Budget, 3) Protocol Start up and Staffing Budget, 4) Budget for Clinical Management Protocol Proposal #1, and 5) Budget for Clinical Management Protocol Proposal #2. The PHS 398 budget forms should be used for the first three; see RFA Section 6, Subsection 5 “Budget Plans” for information on cost limits for these three separate budgets. Use a separate Detailed Budget for the Initial Budget Period and a separate Budget for Entire Proposed Period of Support (with an added page using only the last two columns for years 6 and 7) for each of the first three budgets: Core, Clinical Research Skills Development, and Protocol Start up and Staffing. Use a simple table format to present the separate budgets for the two clinical management trial protocol proposals. The clinical management trial protocol budgets should express ONLY direct costs.
