If you are requesting money in the budget for 10 workstations, you better be able to defend the need for 10 workstations. The amount being requested for each item should be reasonable. If necessary you should be able to document the cost cited. Have someone else check your math. Make sure you double check your math again, after the proposal has been typed.
Many proposals have extension errors, incorrectly added columns, and transposed numbers.
Make sure number of items referred to in the narrative mirror those in budget. If you are requesting 10 workstations in the budget make sure your narrative talks about 10 workstations, not 8. If you are unsure call the LSTA office. Many grants are ineligible because they include personnel, fringe benefits or in the case of schools, funds for substitutes. In kind costs are non-allowable expenses.
