Why are two separate budgets required?
The U.S. Departments of Education (ED) and Health and Human Services (HHS) jointly provide funds for grant awards. ED has statutory language that prohibits use of funds for certain activities. To ensure that the use of ED funds is in compliance with the statutory language, applicants are asked to develop two separate and detailed budgets for each of the four 12-month budget periods. One set of budgets represents costs needed to support Elements One, Two, and Three—the costs ED can support. The second set of budgets support Elements Four and Five—the costs ED generally cannot fund and are thus funded by HHS.
