The General Costs SmartForm consists of the Budget Summary table and General Costs table. The General Costs table lists each cost type from the prior SmartForm page. Notice that the costs with inflation factored in cannot be edited. The cost types that were set to not include inflation can be updated.

The Smart Form will auto-populate the amounts in each year, but you may update the budget amounts per period as needed. The amount budgeted per period may vary based on a variety of factors, such as equipment being purchased only in the first year of the award or graduate RAs only being active in certain budget periods. Click Save to save your updates.

If needed, enter general cost notes to your department reviewer or GCA

Once all the general costs have been budgeted, click Continue on the bottom of the SmartForm page to advance. You may also Exit or Save the page if you wish to return later
