Instructions for the CALS Budget Worksheet for Grants and Contracts

Prepared by CALS Administrative Services (rev. 9/99)

Use of this form is NOT required. It is intended as a worksheet to help you in the early stages of developing the budget for your project. This form includes a number of categories of expenditure that may be irrelevant to your project, and is probably much more lengthy than your final budget will be. It is purposely so, to spur your thinking about items that should be included in your budget, especially in those circumstances where the sponsor provides no guidance. In fact, many sponsors have their own budget forms, or will outline a specific format that must be used for all proposals, and you will not need this form.

While it is unlikely that this form will be used for the final version of your proposal budget, it may be the case that your project has a cost sharing requirement , and that you have fully documented it on this form. In that case, it is not necessary to copy cost sharing information onto the "CALS Worksheet for Cost Sharing or Matching". You may submit this form instead. Note, however, that you must provide all the same information and must still comply with all the requirements outlined in the "Instructions for the CALS Worksheet for Cost Sharing or Matching" on the CALS Administrative Services web site at http://ag.arizona.edu/aas/home/spcsins.htm
