Budget Guidelines and\u00a0Templates
\n<\/em><\/h1>\n

OSP’s <\/a>Budget Guidelines<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>provide information on stipends, salaries, benefits and indirect costs. These templates for budgets and budget justifications can be used for proposal development:<\/p>\n

Templates that include University Cost-Sharing\/Matching<\/strong>:\u00a0In some cases, a sponsor may mandate that the University cost-share\/match a percentage of the total project\u2019s costs. Once committed, this cost-share\/match represents a binding commitment by the University and must be tracked and reported in its accounting system throughout the entire life of the project.\u00a0\u00a0At the proposal stage, all University cost-sharing must be approved by the authorized departmental fiscal agent.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Guidance on University cost-sharing\/matching can be found in OSP\u2019s\u00a0Sponsored Programs Handbook<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0In no circumstances will previously committed match on an\u00a0active award\u00a0be permitted without prior approval from the sponsor.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Cost-share\/match on a previously submitted proposal should not be committed on a separate proposal until the outcome of the original proposal is determined.<\/em>
