R&R Budget

  • R&R Budget form will be created with Sections A-K for each budget period. A cumulative page will also be included.
  • Personnel budget information will map to Section A - Senior/Key Personnel and Section B - Other Personnel. Information includes name, role, base salary, effort months, requested salary, fringe benefits. By default, person months appear in the Calendar months section andcan be manually moved from calendar months to academic and/or summer months; but please note if you execute the "Create-Update S424" activity again, it will overwrite those manual changes
  • General Cost Types will map properly into sections C-F based on their type. Subaward costs will also map.
  • Indirect Costs included in the budget SmartForm will be included in Section H - Indirect Costs, including the base and rate.
  • Total Directs and Indirects requested (across all project budgets) will be included in Section I.
  • The budget justification should be attached directly to the SF424 R&R budget form for Period 1 in field L. Budget Justification.

  • The Modular Budget form will be created for each period and a cumulative page will be included.
  • Direct Costs (including personnel, general cost types, and subawards) will be mapped to Box A.
  • Indirect Costs, including the base and rate, will map to Box B - Indirect Costs.
  • Total Direct and Indirect Costs will be summed in Box C.
  • Budget justifications should be directly uploaded to the PHS 398 Modular Budget- Cumulative page.

R&R Subaward Budget

  • The Subaward R&R form should be downloaded from the SF424 workspace, completed by the subawardee, and uploaded to the SF424 Subaward Import on the subaward budget SmartForm.
  • The R&R Subaward Budget - Number of Subawards page will appear when the R&R SubawardBudget Attachment is added to the SF424 application. Manually enter the number of subawards to create placeholder sub budgets for each subaward. The Create-Update SF424 activity must be run again to populate the sub budgets.
  • The SF424 R&R subaward budgets will directly reflect what is in the file, including any budget justification attachments.
