Y ou do not have to design the budget on your own. If you will be submitting to a foundation, it is important for you to work with the Corporate and Foundation Relations Office. Foundations tend to limit or not allow, some of the same costs that government agencies find acceptable. D uring your initial contact with the agency, you probably received an estimate for what the agency considers reasonable figures. Government agencies and corporations will generally pay indirect costs, while foundations will not.
Some agencies require cost-sharing.
If you are forecasting figures for the next academic year, salary increases of five percent should be included. If you need help with the classification or pay range for a position in the budget, call Human Resources at -2280.
