Budget Development

 

Before developing your budget, make sure you have read the budget section of your proposal guidelines thoroughly. This section should specify the upper limit for  the budget, what costs are allowed and unallowed, whether cost share is required, and what level of indirect costs is allowed. Every agency has its own set of  guidelines; they can range from very general to very specific.

Contact Lea Hollowell (lhollowell@indstate.edu or #8124) in OSP early in your
budget development process. She will assist you with developing a spreadsheet, determining cost share, finalizing the budget, and guiding you through the routing process.

Below are links to materials that may assist you in your budget development. Also checkout the resource center at the office of OSP, we have current periodicals and other resource materials that may help.
