Two main categories of Personnel:
Senior/Key: “The PD/PI and other individuals who contribute to the scientific development or execution of a project in a substantive, measurable way, whether or not they receive salaries or compensation under the grant. ”
Non-Key: does not contribute to the scientific development or execution of a project in a substantive, measurable way<br>

Types of CostBudget Categories and CalculationsJustificationsBudget exerciseUse of Grants OfficeProcesses for SubmissionsHelpful Hints Budget Categories >> Personnel >> calculation
Start with the salary of each individual or position valued at a 1.0 FTE
If the person is above the PHS salary cap, use the cap instead of the actual salary in the calculation
Multiply the salary times the effort (as a percentage) that each person will spend working on the award. This is the “salary requested”
Multiply the salary requested by the institution’s fringe benefits rate to get the fringe requested
Add the salary request and fringe for each person to get the total for each person/position<br>

NIH requirements include listing efforts as months rather than as a percentage
All efforts should be based on 12 months
12 calendar months
Combination of academic and summer months that totals 12
E.g. 9 academic months plus 3 summer months
This is done by many universities when faculty have different salary levels and responsibilities during the school year versus the summer months<br>

Types of CostBudget Categories and CalculationsJustificationsBudget exerciseUse of Grants OfficeProcesses for SubmissionsHelpful Hints Budget Calculations: modular vs detail budget
Add up all the direct costs of the prime institution plus the direct costs of all the subcontractor institutions.
*If this amount is $250,00 or less, submit a modular budget.
If this amount is $250,001 - $499,999, submit a detailed budget.
If your budget is $500,000 + for each year, you need to request approval ahead of time. It will be a detailed budget.
*Best practice is to always complete a detailed budget to determine if you will submit a modular budget, not the other way around.<br>

Types of CostBudget Categories and CalculationsJustificationsBudget exerciseUse of Grants OfficeProcesses for SubmissionsHelpful Hints Budget Calculations: MTDC and F&A
The NIH permits different cost bases to be used when calculating indirect costs.
Both GW and Children’s utilize the Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) base.
This base excludes equipment, patient care, alterations & renovations as well as the part of each subcontract in excess of $25,000 per competitive segment of the award.<br>

Example:
Your budget categories are:
Personnel: $150,000
Supplies: $ 25,000
1 Subcontract: $100,000
The MTDC would be 150,000 + 25,000 +25,000 = $200,000<br>
Example:

Personnel: $150,000
Supplies: $ 25,000
1 Subcontract: $100,000
The MTDC would be 150,000 + 25,000 +25,000 = $200,000<br>
21
Types of CostBudget Categories and CalculationsJustificationsBudget exerciseUse of Grants OfficeProcesses for SubmissionsHelpful Hints Budget Calculations: MTDC and F&A
The F&A is calculated by taking the MTDC and multiplying by the rate agreed upon between the federal government and your institution.
For Children’s, the rate is 78.5%
For GWU, the rate is 61.5%<br>

From Previous Example:
The MTDC is $200,000
Children’s F&A = 200,000 * 0.785 = $157,000
GWU F&A = 200,000 * 0.615 = $123,000<br>

Types of CostBudget Categories and CalculationsJustificationsBudget exerciseUse of Grants OfficeProcesses for SubmissionsHelpful Hints Budget Justifications
A good budget justification should reiterate everything that is included in the actual budget and should be able to stand alone so that the reviewer would know what is in the budget even if he/she were not looking at it.
It should be a clear, concise write up of what items are included, why they are necessary, and how they will be used. The budget justification should cover the entire time span of your project.<br>

If you submit a detailed budget, you need to submit a detailed justification (e.g. detail all categories).
If you submit a modular budget, you only need to justify personnel and categories that are excluded from MTDC (equipment, patient care, alterations and renovations, subcontracts).<br>
