How much information should be included in the detailed budgets?
For each budget category (for example, personnel, travel, supplies, consultants) you should provide a per unit cost breakdown for all proposed costs. There should be enough information to demonstrate how costs were calculated and that the costs are reasonable. For example, instead of requesting a total of $12,000 for supplies, you should provide a unit cost breakdown. The breakdown might be by month (@$1,000 per month) or per staff (@$800/staff/year for 15 staff members). Regardless, there should be enough detail to support the amount of funding that is being requested.
