Is there a cap on the amount or percent of time requested in an application to budget for existing college employees?
No, there is no cap on the percent of time an applicant may request for funding staff under the program either for project personnel or for emergency management partners designated to support the project. A grantee, if funded, must be able to account for the amount of time budgeted and to document this time as having only been spent on grant activities. Support needs vary dramatically based on the size and scope of the program proposed in an application and often a large amount of funding goes towards implementation of the grant and grant management since these grants require coordination and people power. In the application, each applicant should carefully justify their needs. (NOTE: Funds may not be included for personnel to perform regular campus duties such as security or counseling.
