Proposal Basics
• Statement of Work – Captures and defines the work
activities, deliverables, and timeline a PI will execute in
performance of specified project for a sponsor.
• Budget – Financial plan requested to complete the
proposed project. Mirror image of the proposal,
written in numeric terms.
• Budget Justification – Narrative clarification of each of
the line items/components of the budget.

Direct Costs
Indirect /Facilities & Administrative (F&A)/Overhead Costs
CASB/OMB Exceptions
Effort
Cost Sharing
• Get Approvals – various approvals required within the University
• Submit Proposal – electronic proposals that require submission by an
Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) will be submitted by OSP
or Designated Limited Signatory Authority (DLSA). It is the responsibility
of the PI to submit paper proposals, after obtaining the required
approvals from an AOR in OSP or a DLSA.

Direct Costs
• Cost that can be identified specifically with a
particular sponsored project, or that can be
directly assigned to such activity relatively
easily with a high degree of accuracy.
Personnel costs

 Travel
 Supplies

Direct Cost
• Personnel Costs – includes salary and fringe benefits for faculty,
staff, and students working on the project.






Must be specifically identified and utilized on a project.
Must be paid within the project period.
Federal rules prohibit an employee from earning more than 100% of
his/her salary. This rule applies even across multiple awards,
whether federal or non-federal.
Salaries are determined by Human Resources’ Employment
Classification System.
Proposed salaries can be increased in project out years to reflect
anticipated raises, promotions, or reclassifications. However, if no
raises are approved at UGA in a given year, salary increases are not
allowed.
All employees---whether paid from a grant or a state account---are
UGA employees.

Fringe benefit rates change yearly
Fringe benefit rates posted on OVPR website are designed to be an average
http://research.uga.edu/osp/frequently-used-information/
If funded, the individual’s actual rate will be charged to the project. This
amount can vary from month to month. This can affect the project’s budget.
If the actual fringe amount is more, the project’s budget must cover the
higher amount. If the actual fringe amount is less, the project’s budget can be
revised to use those funds in another way.
Sick and vacation pay and holiday pay are to be met by the grant (you may
require grant-funded employees to take regular leave days!)

and an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more.






Must be specifically identified with and utilized on a project.
Must be purchased within the project period, and typically, not at
the end.
General purpose equipment is considered an F&A cost.
Normally excluded to determine MTDC.
Equipment purchases not included in the award budget may require
sponsor approval
Sometimes, individual components costing less than $5,000 are so
integral to a system that the sum total of the parts is capitalized, and
thus treated as equipment in the budget.

22
Budget Development
Direct Cost
• Travel – costs for employees working on the sponsored project
may include associated per diem or subsistence allowances and
other travel-related expenses, such as mileage allowances if travel
is by personal automobile.
 Application instructions should be reviewed to determine how
to budget for travel costs.
 If there is a possibility that foreign travel will be required, be
sure to include foreign travel in the budget and justification.


Supplies – refers to lab/research or programmatic supplies needed to
complete a specific scope of work.
• Glassware
• Reagents
• Solvents
• Chemicals
• Test booklets
• Always differentiate between office supplies and lab supplies in the
budget justification. Office supplies may not be allowed because these
types of costs are included in UGA’s Indirect / F&A charges. If allowed a
detailed justification will be required for an exception approval.


Subrecipient - entity receiving a portion of a UGA or UGARF award through a
legally binding agreement.
•
•
•

Subcontract /subaward – fiscal assistance mechanism used when the intent is to have
another institution or entity complete an integral portion of the project’s scope of work.
Sponsor’s terms and conditions are ‘flowed down’
Requirements for inclusion in proposal:
 A letter of support from subrecipient’s Sponsored Programs or equivalent office
 Scope of work for the subrecipient’s portion of the project
 Detailed budget, including subrecipient’s F&A
 Detailed budget justification

Direct Costs
• Don’t confuse a consultant with a subcontractor




Consultant provides professional or highly technical advice
UGA controls the results but not the manner in which the service is performed
Work is done over a short period of time and procured through a professional services
agreement
Consultants do not engage in programmatic decision making
• What is the difference between a subrecipient and a vendor?





A vendor does not make programmatic decisions
A vendor tends to have a billing rate
Staff conducting work are not identified
The same types of services are offered to a variety of customers
Examples include: lab testing, report printing, website design, etc. that are part
of regular business operations

Indirect / F&A Costs

Indirect Costs (IDC) – costs that are necessary to support
sponsored projects, but are not easy to identify, quantify, and
link directly to the scope of work of a project.
• Also known as Facilities & Administrative Costs (F&A) or
Overhead.
Federal agencies tend to refer to F&A or IDC
 Private sponsors and non-profits tend to refer to overhead

• Is the sponsor federal or federal flow-through?
• Is the sponsor non-federal?
• Which part of UGA is completing the work?

Cost Share

Mandatory – The cost share must be included in
the proposal budget in order to be considered for
funding by the sponsor, as outlined in the RFP. It is
a requirement as a condition of the award.

Voluntary - The cost share is not required by the
sponsor but is offered by the applicant in the
